The Supreme Court on Thursday said it will hear on April 8 a plea seeking to block the release of a biopic on PM Narendra Modi that is scheduled to release on April 5.

A bench of Justice S.A. Bobde, Justice S. Abdul Nazeer and Justice Indira Banerjee agreed to hear the plea by Aman Panwar, one of the Congress spokesman, contending that the release of Modi biopic ahead of the election would disturb the level playing field.
