Still from Hamare Baarah
Annu Kapoor's upcoming film 'Hamare Baarah' has been gaining a lot of limelight. The film landed in legal trouble earlier, but now there is good news regarding the release of the Annu Kapoor starrer. It has been said that the Bombay High Court has allowed the makers to release the movie after the makers removed two dialogues.
Just after the release of the film's trailer, it received a lot of backlash, and the cast of the film also received death threats. The Bombay High Court then imposed a stay on the film until June 14. But now, reportedly, with the removal of the ban, the movie will hit theaters on its scheduled release date, which is June 7.
Ban in Karnataka
The Karnataka government has banned the release or broadcast of the movie 'Hamare Baarah' in the state for two weeks or until further notice. The decision is in accordance with the Karnataka Cinema Regulations Act 1964, sections 15(1) and 15(5). The Karnataka government alleged that the release of 'Hamare Baarah' would create communal tension in the state. Authorities made this decision after considering requests from several minority organizations and delegations, and after watching the trailer.
