The film distributor Eros International has pushed back the date for the release of Provoked. The film, starring Aishwarya Rai and Naveen Andrews, is based on the real life story of Kiranjit Alhuwalia. More here.

Ahluwalia was convicted of murdering her husband in 1989 and sentenced to life imprisonment. Her cause was taken up by the group Southall Black Sisters and the sentence was eventually quashed in 1992. The court accepted her plea of manslaughter on the grounds of provocation.

The film has been directed by Jag Mundhra. An Eros International spokesperson said it would now be released on 6th April 2007.
