AHMEDABAD:
Parzania, a film based on the 2002 Gujarat riots, was not released in any part of the State on Friday. There was no official word on a ban but exhibitors apparently did not want to take a risk.
The Bajrang Dal had told cinema owners that they themselves should see the film first and decide about screening it "keeping the interest of the State in mind." The film was to have been released in some multiplexes here and theatres in the Kutch and Saurashtra regions.
The producers of Parzania, which is based on the attack on the Gulberg Society here in which 39 persons were burnt alive, agreed to distribute the film directly even without advance payment. .
