Though the Central Board of Film Certification has still not issued a certificate for screening MSG: Messenger of God , Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim has, in a tweet, claimed that his film would now be finally released on February 13.
Though the controversial film was cleared by the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) and was scheduled for a January 16 release, it was deferred in the wake of protests by the Akalis and the Indian National Lok Dal, among others.
Dera spokesperson Aditya Insaan told The Hindu that while it was for the CBFC to explain the delay in issuing screening certificate despite a superior body, the FCAT, having cleared it, it had learnt through an oral communication that the certificate would be issued soon.
Dr. Insaan said it was also learnt that the tribunal order had reached the Board. He said the distributors were making arrangements for a worldwide release on February 13 when the film would hit the screens in five languages.
