In response to the petition seeking removal of scenes showing a 'Kirpan' in 'Zero', the makers of the film on Wednesday filed an affidavit in Bombay High Court, confirming that the concerned portions film have been altered.

Reasserting that the film did not show a 'Kirpan', Red Chillies Entertainment stated, "Despite the fact that the film and its poster depicted only an ornamental dagger and not a 'Kirpan", steps have been taken by the respondent to alter the relevant scenes. The portions in question have been altered through visual effects to depict an ornamental sword."
