New Delhi: As the debate on the use of Genetically Modified (GM) continues to rage in the country, veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt has come out with a film on the subject.

"Let's accept it. We are a feudal society and we'll always suppress the whistle blowers. But its high time we get up take a stand and change this. GM foods will unleash a kind of horror whose extent would be difficult to fathom right now", he said while launching his film "Poison on the Platter" in the capital recently.

Genetically Modified products are those created by genetic engineering, i.E, artificially transferring genes from one species to another in order to sustain the features of one in another.

The film by Ajay Kanchan, who had directed "Aisa Kyun Hota Hai" in 2006 starring Aryan Vaid and Meghna Chatterjee.

"We have made the film for the struggle and sagacity of people campaigning for this issue. This situation is bigger than what we have seen so far. Whether it is cyclones, HIV, insurgency or status of Muslims in India, this issue would be more shocking than anyone can ever imagine", says the director.
