Dera spokesperson Aditya Insan while confirming the date of release said they were hopeful of receiving the certificate from the Censor Board soon and added that the release was being targeted across 3,000 to 4,000 screens.

The film had a run-in with the Censor Board’s examining committee that raised objections to the content of the film like the manner in which Singh projected himself as a godman.
