A day after the Janata Dal (Secular) moved the Election Commission, seeking a temporary ban on the screening of films featuring actor Kichcha Sudeep, following his decision to campaign for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the Karnataka Assembly polls, the party s spokesperson Tanveer Ahmad on Saturday defended the move, saying no person with a particular political affiliation should be seen on the big screen or any audio-visual medium.
Speaking on ANI on Friday, Ahmad said, "This is the reason why have requested the Election Commission to stop Sudeep from appearing in advertisements and his films from releasing in theatres or OTT platforms. His movies should be stopped from screening across platforms till the election is over."
