The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea to stop the release of the `Padmavati` film abroad and took strong exception to statements made by persons holding high offices against the film. The court said the remarks were tantamount to pre-judging the movie which is yet to be certified by the Censor Board. A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra dismissed the fresh petition that had sought an order to restrain the producers of the movie from releasing it abroad.
