Chief Minister’s reaction came after it was brought to his notice that Bollywood flick ‘Malang’ depicts Goa as haven for narcotics trade.
“It is not right for anyone to portray the State as destination for narcotics trade. We have good law and order situation in the State,” he said.
Sawant said that it has been brought to his notice that ‘Malang’ movie with its several scenes of drug laced rave parties “maligned the image of the State.”
“In future, when we give permission for any movie to shoot, the Entertainment Society of Goa, will check the story of the movie. They will not be allowed to malign image of the State,” Sawant stated.
“Only when we are convinced about the script, permission would be granted for the shoot,” he said.
Malang stars Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani and Kunal Kemmu in main roles.
