Indu Sarkar: Film director Madhur Bhandarkar not allowed to hold pressers

Pune: Congress party workers on Saturday went all out to ensure that film director Madhur Bhandarkar was forced to cancel all three press conferences that were to be held in the city to promote his latest movie, Indu Sarkar.

The party workers managed to reach the venues much before the director, all three times and forced him to call off each of his interactions with the media. The film is allegedly based on the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the Emergency era. The Congress alleges that the movie has controversial content against the former Prime Minister and wants the content to be removed.

The director’s first press conference to promote the movie was to be held at a hotel at NIBM road. But Congress workers reached the venue much before him and compelled him to cancel the event.
