In a statement, he said, "The movie doesn¡¯t make any sense and it sets a dangerous precedent. It glorifies a smuggler and calls him a hero. He keeps saying, thaggede le, whenever he hits someone and is hailed as a mass hero by fans. If I ever meet the director or the actor, I will confront them about the film."

He even questioned whether the makers of the films and those who are a part of the project will take the responsibility if someone inspired by the film does a wrong thing. "Say someone hits a random person on the road and says, thaggede le, will they take responsibility?"
