The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) and the Ministry of Home Affairs, declared the Hindi-language film to be "outside Singapore's film classification rules" (MHA).

According to Channel News Asia, the film would be denied classification due to its controversial and one-sided representation of Muslims, as well as images of Hindus being persecuted in the ongoing strife in Kashmir.

"There is a worldwide political effort against the picture," he continued. They accuse us of inciting Islamophobia. I state unequivocally that Islamophobia is being used as a political weapon against my film as part of a global political conspiracy. The film is anti-terrorist in nature. The word 'Muslim' is never mentioned in the film. The words Pakistan and Pakistani are not used in the film. It's a film on counter-terrorism."
