Producers Seek Court Help After 'Bougainvillea' Misses National Film Awards Deadline
15 Nov
Summary
- Producers of 'Bougainvillea' file petition in High Court over technical glitch
- Claim payment portal froze, preventing them from submitting before deadline
- Film had won 7 awards at Kerala State Film Awards
In a surprising turn of events, the producers of the film 'Bougainvillea', directed by Amal Neerad, have sought judicial assistance in the High Court regarding complications with their National Film Awards submission. According to the petition filed by the production house, the team had completed all the necessary formalities for the 72nd National Film Awards, except for the final fee payment.
However, when they attempted to make the payment on the official portal, the system allegedly froze and became completely unresponsive. This technical glitch ultimately prevented them from completing the submission before the October 31 deadline. The production house had already submitted a formal representation to the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, seeking an extension due to the system malfunction.
