According to the report of IANS, the protesting Ahir community says that in the trailer of the film, it has been shown as if Major Shaitan Singh Bhati alone fought in the war, but apart from him, many soldiers fought without caring for their lives, who came from the Ahir community. Farhan Akhtar has played the role of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati of the Kumaon Regiment in the film, who was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra for his indomitable courage.
