Following the trailer’s release, people immediately pointed out that the character reminded them of Asaram Bapu. However, this wasn’t well received by the godman Asaram Bapu.
Manoj Bajpayee and the makers of the film have been slapped with a legal notice from Asaram Bapu’s charitable trust. They have requested the court to impose restrictions on the film's promotion and release.
The lawyers also maintained that the film is offensive and damaged their client’s reputation and good name. Furthermore, the film also hurt the sentiments of his followers and believers.

Now, if someone says that the film is based on them, they can think whatever they can, and we can’t stop that. Only the film will be able, to tell the truth when it comes out,” as reported by ETimes.
