Meanwhile, the film has been facing some troubles as the real family of Gangubai has claimed the filmmakers didn’t ask for their permission. The son of Gangubai, Babu Raoji Shah, and granddaughter Bharti have filed a complaint stating that the film is showcasing their mother in a bad light. The family claimed that they found the trailer extremely shocking as they projected their mother as a prostitute instead of a social activist.
