The television premiere of internationally acclaimed film The Danish Girl has been put on hold on Sony Le Plex as the channel was unable to get necessary certification.
The Tom Hooper-directed film, starring Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander, is based on the life of Elbe, one of the first known recipients of sex reassignment surgery. It was scheduled to be telecast tonight.
"We regret to inform you that Sony Le Plex HD is unable to telecast the much-awaited television premiere of the international acclaimed award-winning film The Danish Girl on March 26 as the necessary certification to enable telecast of the movie has not been received," the channel posted on its official Twitter account.
"We continue making all necessary efforts to secure the certification and will keep you informed of the future date of the telecast. We thank you for your continuous support and understanding. Any inconvenience caused is sincerely regretted," it added.
