‘Don’t glamourise drug use’: Anti Narcotics Bureau sends notice to filmmakers of Ganja Shankar to change film title

Making its intentions very clear on eradicating the drug menace from the State, the Telangana State Anti Narcotics Bureau sent a notice to the film makers of Ganja Shankar asking it to delete scenes that glamourise usage of drugs.

Sandeep Shandilya, Director of Telangana State Anti-Narcotic Bureau (TS ANB) cited the laws and provisions in the law that prohibit the usage of drugs. The notice is apparently sent after the filmmakers released the ‘first high’ of the movie on YouTube for promotion.

Mr. Shandilya drew attention to the title and the content and said, “Watching the trailer it can be concluded that the protagonist is a vagabond who does leafy vegetable business and the pictorials of Ganja plant are shown indicating that the leafy vegetable business done by the protagonist is Ganja.”
