The actor stated that he had to pay a mediator Rs 6.5 lakhs to obtain the censor certificate for the dubbed version.
On September 28, Vishal posted a video to his social media accounts describing how he was forced to make two transactions to obtain the screening and certificate. He also asked Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action against the perpetrators in the video. The actor even revealed the transaction information in the caption, including the names of the account holders.
