Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], The Bombay High Court has allowed the release of the film 'Hamare Baarah' after the makers agreed to make some changes. Actor Annu Kapoor expressed his happiness that the issue has been resolved.
While talking to the media during a press conference, he said, "My four producers are entitled to this felicitation. Ravi S Gupta, Birender Bhagat, Sanjay Nagpal, Sheo Balak Singh and Kamal Chandra (director). I have no input in this. "If necessary, we will make a film about the porn industry."
When asked who could see the film, he replied: "We will make a universal film. We will make a film for everyone."
Director Kamal Chandra emphasized on drafting a population control bill: "The government should come and draft a population control bill. It should be implemented because it is important."
The Bombay High Court saw the film and noted on Tuesday that it had nothing objectionable against the Muslim community. I had suggested changes to certain scenes.
The petitioners agreed not to oppose the release once the necessary changes were made.
A petition has been filed in the Bombay High Court to stop the release of Annu-Kapoor starrer 'Hamare Baarah'. The petition alleged that the film's trailer insults Islamic beliefs.

He said the High Court noted that the trailer was highly offensive.
The court also told the petitioner's lawyer that "it was wrong to comment without watching the film. You are commenting by looking at the poster."
