Controversy rages on: A poster of Jodhaa Akbar being removed at Sangam Talkies in Bhopal on Friday.

BHOPAL: The Madhya Pradesh government on Friday issued orders to suspend the screening of the film Jodhaa Akbar with immediate effect.

Agitations

According to an official statement here, screening of Jodhaa Akbar, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai, has been suspended in all cinemas across the State due to “agitations and disruption of peace at a few places.”

In the State Capital, the film was running in three theatres — Jyoti, Sargam and Sangam. The afternoon show had already commenced when the government issued orders suspending the screening.

Later in the day, the film’s posters were removed as word spread that the film had been “banned” in Madhya Pradesh.
