Dated June 11 and addressed to Prasoon Joshi, Chairman (CBFC) and the makers of the film and star Ranbir Kapoor, the letter stated, “In the trailer of the movie we have seen a scene that Sanjay Dutt was in such a barrack of a jail in which the toilet overflowed. As per the information available the government and jail authorities are taking a very well care of all the barracks of the jails. We never heard any such incidents anywhere. Earlier as well many movies were released based on the gangsters where in the jails were covered but never had seen such incidents. (sic).This particular scene will make a bad impression about the jails and jails authorities of the Indians (sic).”
