The climb-down, after an embarrassing order by a junior minister, came from none other than chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, who told TOI that 'PK' shows will go on and the state will take steps to ensure that the movie continues to be screened without hurdles.
The CM said minister of state for home Ram Shinde's comments were "misrepresented" by the media. "Shinde had only assured that an IG would look into law and order issues related to the film. The Censor Board has certified the movie. No court in the country has objected to the movie or banned it. Therefore, the state has a clear stand that the shows of 'PK' should continue," Fadnavis said. "There won't be any screening for the police to examine the film's contents. We will go for such probes only if a court asks us to do so."
Shinde, too, backtracked from his earlier statement, saying his statements had been "blown out of proportion". Asked about his specific directive to check the contents of the film, Shinde said it was to be decided by the IG (law & order). "My concern was to address growing complaints and angry reactions against the movie, which I conveyed to the police department."
The film fraternity had not taken kindly to the intervention. Filmmakers said such probe orders were stunts to buy time as any controversy eventually dies down. "It is ridiculous. Do the police have the expertise to sit in judgment on a film?" a filmmaker had asked, terming Shinde's original statement an insult to the authority of the Censor Board.
