New Delhi, Nov 24 (PTI) The government today said it has not declined permission to the shoot of English film "Indian Summer" which focusses on the relationship between the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten, wife of British India's last Viceroy Lord Mountbatten.
"No", said Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting C M Jatua to a question whether the government had recently declined permission to the foreign film based on a novel by Alen Von Tunzelmann.

The Minister said this in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.

The government's reaction comes even as some reports suggested that Universal Studio, the producer of the film, has put the film on hold citing budgetary problems and getting the script cleared.

The I & B Ministry had suggested that makers of the proposed film dilute some of intimate scenes involving Nehru and Edwina.
