Ahmedabad, Feb 16 (ANI): The failure of Ahmedabad multiplex owners to screen Bollywood film ‘Parzania’, has angered the youths of the city, who are now threatening to boycott the multiplexes.
Critically acclaimed ‘Parzania’, based on 2002 Gujarat riots was released across the country last month. However, it was not screened in Gujarat, as the theatre owners were not keen to show the ‘controversial’ film.
Though, the theatre owners did not officially disclose about the threats from Hindu organisations like Bajrang Dal, the youths accused the Hindu hardline organisations for forcing theatre owners to withdraw ‘Parzania’.
