Yaariyan 2, starring Divya Khosla Kumar, Meezaan Jafri, and Pearl V Puri, has been making headlines since the trailer of the new track called Saure Ghar from the sequel to the 2012 film was released. The Punjab Police has filed a case against film directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, producer Bhushan Kumar, and actor Meezaan Jafri for hurting religious sentiments since the song apparently showed the actor wearing a kirpan. Two FIRs have already been filed against the upcoming film`s producers. Now, Meezan Jafri has published an apology in a long Instagram post.
On September 3, Meezaan Jafri took to his Instagram and wrote, "We would like to apologise for any content which has been perceived to be objectionable/inadvertently hurt any religious sentiments in Yaariyan 2 and hereby assure that we have no intent to hurt sentiments of any individual/community in any manner whatsoever. We hold the highest respect for all cultures and religious beliefs. We have always strived to create art that entertains and brings people together. However, we reiterate there was no intention to hurt any religious sentiments, to this end, we have replaced and removed from our film the visuals that have unintentionally hurt sentiments."
