According to Sanjeev Srivastava, the trailer of Ajay Devgn's Thank God shows Hindu God Chitragupta dressed in modern outfits and surrounded by ¡°half-naked women¡±.
He said that this has hurt the religious sentiments of their community and that it's a conspiracy to harm social harmony. The national senior vice-president of Kayastha Mahasabha also demanded the removal of the objectionable scenes from the film.

Earlier, Madhya Pradesh education minister Vishvas Sarang had demanded banning the film days after a lawyer namely Himanshu Sharma filed a complaint against Thank God in Uttar Pradesh's Jaunpur court.
Himanshu Sharma accused that Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra's forthcoming movie insults Hindu deity Chitragupta. He also said that makers have misrepresented Ajay Devgn's character in the comedy film.

Moreover, Karnataka's Hindu Janajagruti Samithi has also sought a ban on Thank God claiming that the actors mock Hindu gods in the film's trailer. Not just that, the film also landed in controversy on social media.
Some even called for a boycott of Thank God for mocking the Hindu deity amid the ongoing 'Bollywood boycott trend.'
