A PIL was filed by a resident from UP named Intezar Hussain Sayed seeking to stall the release of the film. He claims that the film has that, “the film will not only hurt the religious sentiments of the Muslim community but also ignite emotions and inflame members of the Hindu community with a clear possibility of triggering violence in all parts of India.”
In the plea he further said, “his movie, as can be seen from the trailer released, has scenes which hurt the religious feelings of the people of India, more particularly the Muslim community and has a very potent mixture of inflammatory scenes which are bound to cause communal violence in the prevailing circumstances in the country.”
The petitioner also pleaded to immediately take down the trailer of this film till the hearing is done and the rest can be decided upon. The director of the film Vivek Agnihotri has said, that there is no such angle in the film but it is only speaking the truth of what has happened.
