Dera chief's Messenger of God gets release nod

January 15, 2015 23:24

CNN-IBN reports: 'MSG -- The Messenger of God', featuring controversial chief of Dera Sacha Sauda, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, in lead role will release on Friday.

The release of the movie was cleared by the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal.

The Dera chief's film had earlier been denied certification by the Censor Board after committee members took exception to Ram Rahim Singh depicting himself as god in the film.

The movie has the controversial Dera chief -- who is facing cases of sexual abuse and murder -- in the lead role and portrays him as a swashbuckling hero fighting "social evils" in flashy costumes.

While the trailer has already garnered over a million hits on the popular video sharing site, YouTube; the same does not seem to be appealing to the authorities. Most of the board members showed concerns with the actor and Godman Baba Ram Rahim Singh doing miracles and performing acts to cure diseases in the film.
