Madras High Court to take a call on Vishwaroopam release on 28th of January

The Madras High Court , which took up film maker and actor Kamal Haasan's petition for revoking the 15-day ban by State Government on his upcoming film Vishwaroopam, has decided to take a call on the release of the movie on January 28. Justice K.Venkatraman, who heard the petition filed by Mr.Haasan's production house Raajkamal Films, said in his order,"Whether the film has got any scenes affecting the sentiment of the people, who have given complaint or not, could be decided only after viewing the movie."

"The postponement of the film Vishwaroopam no doubt, will cause not only mental agony ti the petitioners but also loss to them monetarily. The interest of the public at large, that too during on January 26th Republic Day, has to be viewed more than that. Therefore, the interim injunction sought for this in this regard by the petitioner has not been granted for the present."

Vishwaroopam premiered in Los Angeles on Wednesday, and has already released in Malaysia.
