Self-styled godman Asaram, sentenced to life for sexually exploiting a minor, and the Sant Shri Asaramji Ashram Charitable Trust have sent a legal notice to the makers of "Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai" alleging that the trailer of the upcoming film is "highly objectionable and defamatory".

The film, starring Manoj Bajpayee, follows the story of a lawyer who goes up against an influential godman accused of sexually abusing a minor girl. The trailer was released on May 8.
