- While the film was being screened at the PVR cinema in Bhiwandi, an attempt was made to mute the audio during some of the scenes. The audio of the character playing the role of the religious fanatic character was deliberately muted. Due to this, the audience opposed it. Bhiwandi is a Muslim majority part of Maharashtra.
- The film was not screened at a cinema theatre in Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya. It was informed to the audience by the corresponding cinema manager that, ‘the film was not screened as the reels of the film were not received.’
