What better way to promote your film than to get politicians on your went one step ahead: among the first slides to roll on the screen was one expressing gratitude to six CMs—UP’s Yogi Adityanath, MP’s Shivraj Chouhan, Maharashtra’s Eknath Shinde, Haryana’s Manohar Lal, Assam’s Himanta Biswa Sarma, Uttarakhand’s Pushkar Singh Dhami—Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis and MP minister Narottam Mishra. Proof enough for Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel on why BJP was silent on the film, which drew fire for its offensive dialogue.
