Following this, the multiplex staff was forced to discontinue screening of Bachchhan Paandey. The audience of the action-comedy movie also walked away.

As per Bollywood Hungama, the incident took place in Eylex Cinemas in Sambalpur, Odisha.

A source close to the multiplex said, "We live in a world where everything happens. Russia invades Ukraine and the world is not doing anything. So, you can imagine in a country like India which has 130 crore people, everyone has their own interests. That¡¯s all."

Another exhibitor revealed, "Many are coming in groups of 10, 20, 50, and even 100. Though most of them are peacefully watching the film, certain groups are creating ruckus on the premises. One group fought with our staff and alleged that we have cut a scene from The Kashmir Files. Arre, how can any theatre manager cut any scene from any film?"
