The
Government
of
Maharashtra
has
banned
the
screening
of
the
film
Deshdrohi
in
the
state
for
two
months,
fearing
that
its
theme
would
bring
about
breakdown
of
law
and
order
in
the
state.
The
Mumbai
police
had
earlier
expressed
its
concern
to
the
state
government
on
the
film's
release,
as
the
situation
in
the
state
is
very
volatile
following
the
recent
attack
on
the
North
Indians
by
Maharashtra
Navnirman
Sen
(MNS)
activists.
Deshdrohi
produced
by
Bhojpuri
actor
Kamaal
Khan
deals
with
the
injustice
and
discrimination
meted
out
to
the
North
Indians
in
Mumbai.
However,
it
has
turned
very
controversial
following
the
campaign
started
by
MNS
leader
Raj
Thackeray
against
the
North
Indians
staying
in
Mumbai
city.
Kamaal,
who
also
plays
the
lead
role
in
the
film,
said
that
the
recent
violence
in
Maharashtra
was
a
just
coincidence.
It
is
said
that
the
filmmaker
is
not
happy
with
the
move
of
the
government
and
would
approach
the
court.
This
controversial
film
directed
by
Jagdish
Sharma
also
features
actors
like
Gracy
Singh,
Kim
Sharma,
Aman
Verma,
Ranjit,
Kader
Khan,
Raza
Murad,
Avtaar
Gill
and
Manoj
Tiwari.
It
is
set
to
hit
the
theatres
tomorrow,
that
is
November
14.
