While there were reports that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) invited religious leaders for the screening of 'Dharam Sankat Mein', film's lead actors Paresh Rawal and Naseruddin Shah say the idea is absurd.

Reacting to the reports of calling a Muslim maulvi and a Hindu priest for the screening, Paresh Rawal told reporters, "...getting Pandit and Maulvi to watch a film is a dangerous sign."
