Panaji, Aug 1: A Congress legislator today demanded ban on the screening of recently released movie ‘Kya Super Kool Hai Hum' for allegedly showing a Catholic priest in poor light.
Legislator Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco raised this issue during the ongoing state Assembly session, stating that the character of a priest, played by actor Chunky Pandey, was shown in poor light and demanded intervention of Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar to ban the screening of the movie.
Responding to the issue, Parrikar said, “It is not within the jurisdiction of the state government to ban the screening of the movie. I have not seen the movie, so I can't say anything.”
He said it is the duty of the Censor Board to cut the scenes or not issue a certificate, if it has such content.
“But I will follow up the issue with the Union government, if you submit me the written request,” Parrikar told Lourenco.
Poduced by Ekta Kapoor, the movie released last week.
