They clarified that the makers have been careful not to hurt the feelings of any community, including the Sikhs. "The concern is duly noted and we wish to respectfully clarify that the film does not depict a kirpan, but in fact has used what is commonly known as katar. The film is about celebrating incompleteness and to tell a heartfelt story. We trust you (MLA Manjit Singh Sirsa) will appreciate our stand that any concern this may cause is completely inadvertent," the statement concluded.
Only recently, Rai had got on the wrong side of the community for his last production, Manmarziyaan, which starred Abhishek Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu. It was alleged that a series of scenes set inside a gurudwara had not gone down well with a section of the community.
