Sanjay told ANI, “The Censor Board asked for some changes in the trailer of the film just hours before the trailer was supposed to be released. We always said that since the film has received a certificate, then there shouldn’t be any problem and with the trailer. Making last-minute changes to the trailer creates a lot of difficulty.”
