Screening of filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri’s political satire “Buddha In A Traffic Jam” has been cancelled at Jadavpur University here due to state elections.
The filmmaker took to Twitter on Friday and posted a letter that he received from the university , which states that the screening has been cancelled due to “model code of conduct prevailing due to state election”.
Agnihotri who was here for the screening posted the letter with a caption saying: “I reached Kolkata in the morning for the screening of #BuddhaInATrafficJam at Jadavpur University but they cancelled it…”
“The cancellation of the letter for the screening of “Buddha In A Traffic Jam” at Jadavpur Univ. What a lame excuse,” he added in the tweet.
Inspired from Agnihotri’s own life, “Buddha In A Traffic Jam” deals with corruption and Maoism in a business school. It features actors like Mahie Gill, Aanchal Dwivedi, Pallavi Joshi, Anupam Kher, Arunoday Singh and Vivek Vaswani.
