The Film Censorship Board has not received any protest memorandum against the Hindi Movie, Madras Cafe, which depicts India's involvement in Sri Lanka's conflict with LTTE.
PETALING JAYA: Film Censorship Board is still reviewing the Hindi movie Madras Cafe and has not received any protest memorandum to ban the film.
Film Censorship Board chairman Raja Azhar Raja Abdul Manaf said there were applications from the cinemas to screen the movie.
The movie depicts the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam (LTTE) as a terrorist organisation and this has raised the ire of Tamil Nadu state in India and other countries.
The movie is banned in Tamil Nadu.
On Monday, a coalition of Tamil non-governmental organisations in Malaysia opposed the screening of the movie.
Tamil Progressive Team chief MA Kalaimughilan accused Bollywood actor John Abraham, who is a co-producer of the movie, of making a film with advice from Sri Lanka government.
“We have sent our objections to the Home Ministry,” he said.
However, Raja Azhar said the censorship board did not receive any protest memorandum against the movie.
The movie, starring Abraham is a story about India’s involvement in Sri Lanka’s conflict with LTTE.
Abraham plays the role of a Research Analysis Wing (RAW) agent, an Indian equivalent of Britain’s MI-6.
