Amid tight security,
Bollywood film 'Shorgul' is all set to hit the screens today.
The filmmakers of 'Shorgul'
met Uttar Pradesh director General of Police Javeed Ahmed yesterday to thank
him in maintaining the law and order situation in the state.
"We have come
here to thank the Uttar Pradesh DGP. The way they have tackled the issue is
really appreciable. If you get any help from the administration, it should be
appreciated," actor Narendra Jha told ANI.
Actor Eijaz Khan said it's a very important film for
today's time.
"There was some
problem. The producer got some phone calls. The film was supposed to be
released on June 24, but it is now releasing on July 1. No one has been blamed
in the film and no religion has been put in bad light. It is a very important
film for today's time. I think, all must watch this film," he added.
An alert was issued
earlier on June 23 to all the Superintendents of Police in Uttar Pradesh for
maintaining the law and order situation.
The Lucknow bench of
the Allahabad High Court earlier on June 7 quashed the plea seeking ban on
release of the movie .
The petition, filed
by a social worker, had sought stay on the release of the movie alleging
certain scenes in it threatened to disturb social harmony.
The social worker,
who as per reports is a local leader of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in
Meerut, filed the PIL after seeing the movie's trailer.
The movie was first
scheduled to be released on June 24 but was later on postponed to July 1.
The movie, which
features Jimmy Shergill and Ashutosh Rana in lead roles, is based on friendship
between a Hindu boy and a Muslim girl that snowballs into a political issue
leading to unrest and chaos in society.
