GOA: The State Government has lashed out against Illuminati Films’ ‘Go Goa Gone’ for alleged defamation of the State and violation of the Cigarette Smoking Act.

BJP Legislator Pramod Sawant brought these violations to the notice of the State Legislative Assembly. Said Sawant, “This is one of the instances wherein the filmmaker has been misusing Goa’s name.”

The legislator also pointed out that the one of the posters showed actor Saif Ali Khan puffing cigarettes and was thus in violation of the anti-tobacco law.

“NGO National Organization for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE) has already issued notice to the filmmakers (Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D K) and the actor,” added Sawant.

Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar responded that once he knew all the details, he would take action.

‘Go Goa Gone’ touted to be India’s first zomcom features Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, Anand Tiwari and Puja Gupta.
