Punjab government today decided not to intervene on the issue of the controversial movie 'Nanak Shah Fakir' in the wake of the film-makers' reported decision not to release the movie in the state.

Any decision to ban the movie had become unnecessary in view of the film-makers' "decision" against releasing it in Punjab, chief minister Amarinder Singh said in a statement here.

The statement further said the makers of the film, in their petition before the Supreme Court, had clearly stated that "looking at the sensitivity of the issue and the public sentiment involved", they had decided "not to release the film in the state of Punjab for the time being."
