After a raging political debate and controversy surrounding Mohanlal's latest release, L2: Empuraan, the makers voluntarily incorporated edits. The team of Prithviraj Sukumaran’s directorial implemented 24 cuts after a section of people condemned the portrayal of the 2002 Gujarat riots in the film.

The 24 cuts include changing the name of the antagonist Baba Bajrangi to Baldev. Apart from trimming footage from the riot scene, BJP MP Suresh Gopi’s name was also removed from the credit list. The BJP MP, who is also a popular actor in the Malayalam film industry, was originally thanked in the credits, though his contribution to the film was not revealed. However, according to the new edit, his name has now been removed.
