New Delhi: The Supreme Court has ordered the commercial release of the film Black Friday which is based on the 1993 Mumbai blasts.
The film features Kay Kay Menon and Pavan Malhotra, who plays the character of Tiger Memom, one of the key accused in the 1993 Mumbai blasts. It also stars Gajraj Rao, who plays the role of key aide, Dawood Phanse.
The movie, based on a book by S Hussein Zaidi, narrating the sequence of events, starting from three days before the blasts till the police cracked the case, was completed in May 2004.
The Tada court's verdict on Wednesday in 1993 serial blasts case convicting Tiger Memon's aide Mustaq Moosa Tarani gave a ray of hope to the makers of the film for its early release in theatres.
Tarani had moved Bombay High Court seeking stay on the release of the movie, on the plea that the public would be prejudiced against the accused by watching the movie, which was based on police investigations.
It could also have an adverse impact on the judge, who at that time had reserved his verdict in the blasts case, he had argued. The HC had, in mid-2005, stayed the release of the movie.
