The film was announced in January as a grand event in Mumbai, but it immediately raked up a huge controversy over its name. An FIR was filed against the show and its makers, and members of the Brahmin community staged protests.
Bajpaaye said the film was "not about any community" and said that the decision by the makers to take down the promotional material of the drama goes to show how seriously they are taking these concerns.
