The Dhaka Times Desk The High Court has banned the screening of the much talked about movie 'Rana Plaza'. Meanwhile, the actress of this film Parimony said in her attitude that she is not disappointed at all.
The film, based on the much-talked-about building collapse of Rana Plaza in Savar, was scheduled to release on September 4. But at the last moment, the High Court imposed a 6-month ban on the exhibition and broadcast of the film. The film's censor certificate has also been suspended. The High Court bench comprising Justice Naima Haider and Justice Mostafa Zaman Islam gave this order after hearing a writ petition on Monday.
Those associated with the film have expressed their reaction to the new ban on the Simon-Pirimony starrer film.
The director of the film Nazrul Islam Khan said, 'When there were complaints about not being a good film, we made a film about a good subject. We have put something like this in the story of the film, so that public awareness increases. Garment workers can also be aware and learn a lot. That was the main aim of our film. But it is very sad that the film was stuck in the censors for so long and now the court has issued a ban.'
The film's heroine Parimoni said, 'When the film was stuck on the sensor, I cried a lot. Now the court has issued a ban. I think it will increase the audience's interest in the film. I am not at all frustrated with this issue. I have always said, and I still say that the production of 'Rana Plaza' has been amazing.
It is to be noted that the movie 'Rana Plaza' was made on the rescue of garment worker Reshma from the rubble 17 days after the collapse of Rana Plaza in Savar. The film with a length of 2 hours 17 minutes 16 seconds was blocked by the censor board. It was cleared on July 16 after several rounds of Censor Board cuts. The film was slated to release on September 4.
