The ‘Phule’ starring Pratik Gandhi and Patilekha is one of the most anticipated biopics to detect the revolutionary work of the Phule couple in the 19th century challenging caste and gender inequality.
It was originally scheduled to release on 11 April. The All India Brahmin Samaj and Parashurama Arathic Vikas Mahamandal are among the organizations that have objected to the content of the film. The Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) suggested amendments, which were included by the manufacturers. The producers decided to postpone the film for two weeks, so they could have a communication with the people stating that the film does not have objectionable materials.
The film will now come to theaters on 25 April.
