Given the political climate as India gears up for the much anticipated elections as indeed Vivek Oberoi continues to explain his stand on if his film, contesting arguments that  PM Narendra Modi Biopic is influencing people to bag votes with a definite agenda, this bit that has trickled in from CBFC makes sense.

It was first gathered that the release of PM Narendra Modi had been pushed indefinitely. The producer Sandip Ssingh said on Thursday, a day before the film was scheduled to be screened in theaters across the country, stated. Prasoon Joshi, chairperson of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), apparently maintained that the film is undergoing due process of examination and certification. Relax Trolls, Vivek Oberoi Knows What He Is Doing!

And now the recent developments suggest that the certification process is still on. The film was scheduled to release on April 12 but producers had advanced it by a week. Public demand was cited to be the reason of this change in schedule.

Opposition parties, including the Congress, have been arguing that the film would give undue advantage to the BJP as it will influence opinions to bag votes. It would be pertinent to note that the model code of conduct, which among other things, calls for an even-playing field for all parties and candidates, came into force on March 10 when the elections were announced.
