Taking to X, Dhruv Rathee expressed serious concern about the level of violence shown in the trailer. According to him, the scenes resemble ISIS-style execution videos, which feature extreme brutality. Rathee wrote, “Aditya Dhar has truly crossed the limits of vulgarity in Bollywood. The trailer for his new film contains so much violence, bloodshed, and torture that watching it is like watching ISIS beheading videos and then calling it entertainment.”

Dhruv Rathee also urged the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to step in and take strict action regarding the film’s violent scenes.

In a sarcastic remark, he wrote, “Now is the time for the Censor Board to show what it actually has a problem with: people kissing or the skinning of a living person.” His statement triggered wide discussion online, with social media divided between supporting Rathee’s concerns and defending artistic freedom. In the film, Ranveer Singh plays an Indian spy captured in Pakistan. The trailer features Arjun Rampal, playing an ISI major, is shown flaying a man alive. And Akshaye Khanna, portraying a Lahore gangster, is shown stoning a man to death.
