Following the trailer release on Netflix, widespread protests have erupted, with sections of society, including the All India Brahmin Mahasabha in Bhopal, demanding strict action against the filmmakers and cast, including director Neeraj Pandey, actor Manoj Bajpayee, and producer Ruchika Shekhar Kapoor.
