Hyderabad, Jan 5 : Noted Hindi Filmmaker Prakash Jha moved the AP High Court seeking damages from the government for illegally imposing a temporary ban on his film Aarakshan. The 2011 Hindi film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone, was based on the controversial policy of caste based reservations in government jobs and educational institutions.
The film was released on August 12, 2011. But the state government banned the release of the movie initially and withdrew it later. Mr Jha contended that the delayed release harmed the finances of the film and he was entitled for damages. Justice Noushad Ali adjourned hearing to after Sankranti vacation.
