In reply to the complaint filed against Shah Rukh Khan's Zero, directed by Aanand L Rai, the makers of the upcoming film have stated that they had no intention to hurt any religious sentiments. The development follows the complaint that Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) general secretary, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, had filed against Khan, for allegedly hurting the sentiments of the Sikh community with the content in Zero.
In the complaint, Sirsa alleged that in the promo of the movie, Khan has been shown wearing 'Gatra kirpan' (an article of Sikh faith), which has created an outrage among the Sikh community. In response to the allegations, the film's team has issued a statement that reads, "The image shows a dagger popularly known as katar in the Indian subcontinent and is nowhere close to a kirpan that carries the distinguished blessing of being Khalsa."
