John Abraham in Batla House

John Abraham’s upcoming thriller drama Batla House has been mired in controversies ever since its release. Inspired by the controversial encounter operation which took place in Delhi in 2008, the film also stars Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan and Nora Fatehi in pivotal roles. Despite all the disputes, the film was all set to hit the theatres on August 15, 2019. However, it seems like there may be a change in the original plan.

A press show was scheduled a day before the film’s release for the journalists at Sunny Super Sound, Juhu. However, right before the film could see the light of the day, the bad news came in stating that the film has not yet received clearance from the Delhi High Court. 

Just about at 1.45 pm, T-Series was informed to not screen the film before they get a clearance on the release. Thus, T-Series took immediate action and sent out messages to the media saying that the screening stands canceled until further notice, reported Spotboye.

The Delhi High Court had declined to entertain a PIL last Friday, seeking to halt the film's release as the petitioner had not seen the film."You (petitioner, his lawyers) have not seen the film. Out of trailer nothing can be done. Then why should we hear you," a bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar stated. The plea by an Azamgarh resident in Uttar Pradesh was withdrawn taking note of the view expressed by the bench.

The report further stated that Ariz Khan, who is currently facing trial in the Batla House encounter case and Shahzad Ahmed, who has appealed against his conviction and a life sentence in the same matter, have sought the postponing of the film's release claiming that proceedings in their cases would be affected. 

Both Khan and Ahmad are facing trial in the 2008 Delhi serial bomb blast case, and have contended that the movie would affect further proceedings in that matter also.

Now, this legal complication has raised a question if John Abraham’s Batla House will hit the theatres on Independence Day i.e August 15, 2019, as per the original plan?
