'Vishwaroopam' shows on in Hyderabad
Telugu version of Kamal Haasan-starrer 'Vishwaroopam' is being screened in Hyderabad city today after the screenings were suspended yesterday on police's order.
The film released all over Andhra Pradesh yesterday, but not in most theatres in the state capital.
Sabita Indra Reddy, state Home Minister, had said yesterday that police commissioners of Hyderabad and Cyberabad had sought to stop screenings until they were satisfied that the film would not create any disturbances.
Police sources said they wanted the movie not to be screened yesterday as it would have coincided with the Muslim festival day of Milad-un-Nabi. A delegation of Muslim leaders had earlier sought a ban on the film.
The film's release has been stopped in Tamil Nadu for two weeks.
Prasad's Imax, one of the large multiplexes in the city, said today's shows were on.
A P Film Chamber of Commerce president Tammareddy Bharadwaja reportedly said the film was screened in some theatres in the city even yesterday, but not in the communally-sensitive areas.
He also said it was unfair to suspend the screenings once the film had been cleared by the Censor Board.
City police Commissioner Anurag Sharma was not available for comment.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
