The Sprouts is of the opinion that this film should be banned immediately.

‘Ban Nidar, Dikha Jigar, Khel Idhar’ is the tagline of this film which seeks to encourage viewers to participate in betting. The Lion Book, the illegal company is owned by Hitesh Khushlani, who had run away from the country following the registration of a rape offense against him.

The actor Sahil Khan is the Co-Founder of Khushlani’s company. The information about this company has been shared proudly by Sahil Khan on his Instagram account. Sahil Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shetty, Kapil Sharma, Urvashi Rautela, and several actors are engaged in openly promoting this film and also promoting the company-The Lion Book” on social media.

However, the state government, union government, and police have been turning a blind eye toward these illegal activities due to “Money deals”.
