“I can’t tell you their response, but we are happy after meeting them and getting their answer,” he told reporters here.
“We hope the movie is allowed to be released soon as there’s no political agenda behind PM Modi’s biopic,” he added.
The Supreme Court had on Monday directed the EC to watch the film “PM Narendra Modi” and submit its report after the movie’s producers cried foul that the poll panel barred the film’s release without even watching it.
The filmmakers had moved the apex court challenging the EC’s order delaying its release. The Supreme Court has scheduled the matter for the next hearing on April 22.
