Chennai : The release of Kamal Haasan's 'Vishwaroopam' in Tamil Nadu
has been deferred till January 28 by the Madras High Court, which today
declined to stay the two-week ban imposed by the state government on the film's
screening.
The court fixed January 26 for a preview of the controversial
movie which has stoked strong protests from Muslim outfits.
The film, which is to be released tomorrow in the country
and abroad, is a spy thriller starring Haasan in the lead
alongwith Rahul Bose, Pooja Kumar and Jaideep Ahlawat.
The interim injunction sought by the petitioner, actor-filmmaker
Haasan, was not granted for the present, Justice K Venkataraman ruled during
the hearing of the actor's plea challenging last night's ban on the the
multi-lingual film, slated for release tomorrow.
"Whether the film has got any scenes affecting the sentiment
of the people, who have given complaint, or not could be decided only after
viewing the film," he said observing that the release could be postponed
till January 28.
"Now, considering the fact that the Republic Day is to be
celebrated on January 26, the petitioners can postpone the release till January
28," the judge said, adding that the court could view the film on January
26.
