Mumbai, January 31 - Ever since the release date of the film "Why I Killed Gandhi" has been announced, the movie has given fresh air to the controversy. The All India Cine Workers Association had written a letter to PM Modi demanding a ban on the film Why I Killed Gandhi.## However, on January 31, the Supreme Court of India refused to entertain the plea seeking a stay on streaming of the film on the OTT platform, Limelight. While granting liberty to the petitioner to approach the High Court, the SC said in their order - ## "Writ petition under Art 32 may only be filed when there is a question of violation of Fundamental Right. No Fundamental Right of the petitioner appears to have been violated. However, it appears that the petitioner is a citizen and may have a serious cause of concern. Petitioner is at liberty to approach the High Court under Art 226. This petition is not entertained".## The film "Why I Killed Gandhi", which was released on Limelight OTT on January 30, has been alleged to justify the killing of Mahatama Gandhi. Amol Kolhe, the NCP Lok Sabha MP and actor has played the role of Nathuram Godse, who killed Mahatma Gandhi. He has been getting a mixed reaction from his party men for playing the controversial role. ## Stay tuned...
