The Haryana government has suspended exhibition of Punjabi movie ‘Shooter’ with immediate effect, till further orders and during such suspension, the film shall be deemed uncertified in State. An official spokesperson said violent content and depiction of dark world of crime in the movie is likely to have a harmful effect on the youth as they are vulnerable to “glorification of crime and violence”. “Screening of the film might promote gangster/gun culture and thus, will negatively influence impressionable minds of teenagers and youths,” the government spokesperson said in a release.
