New Delhi: Amid row over the controversial godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh 's movie 'MSG--Messenger Of God', the film is reported to hit the screens on January 23, 2015.
The censor board has given clearance to MSG: The Messenger of God featuring self-styled guru Ram Rahim Singh. Earlier, the censor board had objected to the film's release fearing it would cause communal tension and had also raised objections on the content of the movie and the manner in which the Singh projected himself as a ‘Godman’.
The movie, which stars Dera Sacha Sauda chief in the lead role, referred to the revising committee, was said to be “too controversial” and “may hurt sentiments”, hence failed to get clearance.
MSG was shot over 67 days at different locations across the country and is based on the theme of eradicating drug addiction, alcoholism, prostitution and other social evils.
