Rang De Basanti release could be stalled New Delhi | January 13, 2006 6:36:22 PM IST The release of Aamir Khan Soha Ali Khan-starrer 'Rang De Basanti' seems to be in trouble with animal welfare activist Maneka Gandhi today asserting that the film could not be released as producers had not sought the mandatory permission from the Animal Welfare Board of India to shoot animals. Censor Board chairman Sharmila Tagore told a TV channel that she had not yet recieved a No Objection certificate from the Animal Welfare Board of India, without which the film could not recieve the necessary certification, the theatrical release of the film could be delayed from the orginal date of January 20. Reiterating her charges against the producers of 'Rang De Basanti', Ms Gandhi said, ''The movie was shot without the mandatory permission from the Animal Welfare Board and the board sent notice to the producers, they have not yet replied. It is a statutory obligation and I do not see any reason why the movie should be released without clearing the matter.'' ''I have not yet recieved the NOC from the AWBI without which the Censor Board cannot issue a certification to a film, which is necessary for it to release in the theatres,''Ms Tagore told the channel.
