BHEED TRAILER CONTROVERSY

For the unversed, the trailer of 'Bheed' was pulled from Youtube after it landed in controversy for drawing parallels between the lockdown and Partition. The trailer of the film was then re-released after necessary changes. The film was given a U/A certificate by the CBFC after some crucial deletions.

Speaking about the trailer, director Anubhav Sinha was quoted as saying by the PTI, "Of course, these changes are obvious. The trailer was off air for two days (and) the changes mentioned are correct. But that reason is the filmmaker's business. There is a sanctity to the film and I would not like to disturb it."
