A tribute to Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the form of a film, Gujarat No Nath, will not be out before elections. The Censor Board played truant with the film8217;s release, first finding objections in its first viewing and then sitting over it for over a month.

The film was cleared by a wider committee of the Central Board for Film Certification CBFC two days ago, but producers say with little time left, it would not be possible to release it before elections8212;their earlier plan.

Produced by Ranmal Ahir, a Surat-based builder, and directed by Vadodara-based award winning director Ajitsinh Jhala, the film was sent to the board two months ago, so that it could be released just ahead of elections.

The CBFC8217;s Mumbai Regional Officer, Vinayak Azad, when contacted said the first committee of four members had referred the film to a wider committee of seven members usually headed by one of the board members. It met on Saturday and cleared the film. 8220;I do not know the first committee8217;s objections, but the second committee thought the film can be released,8221; Azad said.
