Screening of Jodhaa Akbar was banned in Madhya Pradesh.The reason is rajput community threatened that they will set fire to cinema halls…

”The government has suspended the screening of the movie in the state with immediate effect as protests at cinema halls have posed a threat to maintenance of peace,” Commercial Tax Department Addition Secretary said. In his order banning the screening of the film produced by UTV Software Communications Ltd, Parihar said the decision was taken in accordance to provisions under the Madhya Pradesh Cinema (Regulation) Act, 1952.

Describing the depiction of the Jodhaa Bai as Akbar’s wife in the Bollywood movie as an ”insult” to the community, Akhil Bharatiya Kshatriya Mahasabha has threatened to burn the movie reels and cinema halls screening the film, which has been directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar.

What a news.. this is called freedom.. one can make a movie the way he wanted .. others can set fire the cinema halls..
