In addition, a character is seen listening to a Sanskrit shloka-infused audio track on a mobile phone. This tune was erased by the CBFC. An oppressive word 'behenkhor' was supplanted with 'bana'. Additionally, the CBFC requested that the creators blur images of currency note fragments and tearing. In addition, the text data 'Brahmin son...Shudra's child' was approached to be erased.
Finally, the creators submitted credible references, that is paper articles, court decisions, strict sacred texts and so on. to indicate that the film is based on real-life events.
