NEW DELHI: The Election Commission of India has ‘halted’ the release of a controversial film about the life of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the eve of the first day of voting, India media reported.

The movie PM Narendra Modi was set to be released in cinemas on Thursday, the day when Indians started voting in 91 seats throughout the country.

Opposition parties have been arguing that the film would “affect” the elections, since it has been made as a political advertisement.

They had earlier demanded that the movie should be banned until after the last phase of voting on 19 May.

India’s election commission announced the deferral of the film until after the polls. (Agencies)
