The controversy surrounding Diljit Dosanjh-starrer Satluj has intensified after the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) said the film was released on ZEE5 without completing the required certification process. The Honey Trehan directorial premiered on the streaming platform on Friday (July 3) but was removed from India just two days later.
Following the takedown, ministry officials stated that the makers bypassed the prescribed process before releasing the film on OTT.
According to an ANI report, an official from the Ministry said, “Satluj did not have the required certification for a theatrical release. Instead of complying with the certification process, the makers changed the film's title and released it on an OTT platform on Friday.”
The official further alleged that the release violated the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021. However, no specific provision of the rules was identified.
