Overview

• The Aug. 16 Kolkata trailer event was canceled at a multiplex, moved to a hotel where power went out, and then questioned by police over permissions, according to the filmmakers.
• Actor‑producer Pallavi Joshi called the stoppage arbitrary and unconstitutional at a Delhi briefing, alleging chaos at the venue and injuries to several women journalists.
• Gopal Mukherjee’s grandson, Santanu (Shantanu) Mukherjee, filed an FIR at Bowbazar police over alleged distortion of his grandfather’s identity and sent a legal notice seeking an apology, with other complaints reported in West Bengal.
• Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri said the depiction in question is an 'inspired' character not central to the story and asserted the censor board cleared the film without cuts after review.
• Cast members Saswata Chatterjee and Saurav Das distanced themselves from the broader dispute, saying they knew only their roles and were unaware of the title change during filming, as the movie targets a September 5 theatrical release.
