A few days after filmmaker of Power of Patidar wrote to the Prime Minister seeking his intervention over Censor Board’s rejection to the film’s release, director of Gujarati movie Salagto Saval Anamat has followed suit.

In his letter to Narendra Modi on July 8, director Rajesh Gohil stated, “Under the banner of Vyas Film Production (VFP), we made Salagto Saval Anamat at an expanse of over Rs 50 lakh. I have written and directed the film to convey the message on the ongoing reservation stir in Gujarat by the Patidar community. However, the Censor Board has not approved its release.”

The film was slated for release on June 14, 2016. Gohil wrote, “We have incurred losses of over Rs 50 lakh. I am under pressure from those who financed the film for the recovery of losses. I was recently even assaulted by some persons.”
