While reporter presented his mic to ask a question, as Dr. Singh came out of the car, he immediately got ready to answer the questions but as soon as the reporter had put forward his comment, “What do you think about the film made about you,?” Singh moved away and started walking.
Syed Zafar of the Madhya Pradesh Congress has said, “I have written a letter to the director, we strongly object to the name and what was shown in the trailer. We want to see the film prior to release or else won't let it release in the state.”
