If you think the dust has settled, you are totally wrong! Now footwear brand Bata India has taken offence to a dialogue from the film and claims that it shows the brand in a bad light.

If you are wondering what is so bad and humiliating about the dialogue and subtitles, well here you go - "Varna kya.... Bata ka joota pehan kar, tuchhi si terricot ki shirt pehan kar, sala hum se zabaan lada rahe hain." The subtitles in English replace the word 'Bata' with 'Cheap Shoes'. It read as, "Who are you to argue with me in your CHEAP SHOES and shabby clothes".
Bata India released a statement saying, "The brand Bata has been deliberately shown in an extremely bad taste and the dialogue was intended to convey that the brand Bata is adorned only by lower strata of society and one should feel humiliated if one wears Bata footwear."
