Officials of the Election Commission, drawn from its model code and legal divisions, are likely to watch the biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday on the directions of the Supreme Court. The EC has asked the producers of the film to arrange for a screening for a committee set up for the purpose. The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Commission to watch the full biopic on Modi and take an informed decision on banning its pan India release by April 19. A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi also directed the poll panel to submit its decision to the court in a sealed cover and said it will consider the matter on April 22. Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for film producers who challenged the ECs ban on the release, said the poll panel banned it just by watching the promo and did not watch the full movie. Also read: Acting on the complaints of political parties, including the Congress, the poll panel had asserted that any biopic material with the potential to disturb the level playing field should not be displayed in areas where Model Code of Conduct was in force. The Modi biopic, starring Vivek Oberoi and directed by Omung Kumar, tells the story of PM Modis rise to power from his humble beginnings.
