DD wants spotlight for Lok Nayak

Jha says he is the producer of the film. ‘‘I am the producer and I am eligible to enter the film for the awards,’’ he said. The film was also certified by the Censor Board for a certification under Jha’s name, an act which renders DD unfit to claim a stake in the making of the film. ‘‘Even we want to enter the film for National Awards, it would not be possible as the film obtained a certification in Jha’s name,’’ sources said.

But DD wants Jha to acknowledge its role — as a commissioning agent. ‘‘If it wins an award, he should credit DD for having commissioned it in the first place for a little less than Rs 1 crore,’’ sources added.
