Now, the CPI(M) has requested the EC to ban the trailer of ‘Baghini: Bengal Tigress’, that is based on the life of West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress Supremo Mamata Banerjee.

The biopic has already received the certificate from the Cesnor Board and is scheduled for release on May 3.

A delegation of CPI(M) leaders, led by party general secretary Sitram Yechuery, met Election Commissioner Sunil Arora on Monday. They protested saying that the first phase of the Lok Sabha election in West Bengal and Tripura was rigged. Also, they demanded a ban on the release of the trailer of Mamata Banerjee’s biopic. They demanded a ban of the trailer as the Left party thought that it could influence the voters.

A CPI(M) leader told News18, “We are hopeful that after taking action against the Modi biopic, the EC will also take note of this film. It is pure propaganda.”

The trailer for the Bengali-language film by Nehal Dutta follows the life of Indira Bandhopadhyay (played by Ruma Chakraborty) who plays a political leader and is fondly referred to as ‘Didi’ by her supporters.
