Even as the Supreme Court ordered all the states to screen the movie, multiplexes across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Goa have refused to screen the movie fearing violence from Karni Sena hooligans, as per News 18.
Police force has been deployed at various cinema halls in cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Kolkata, Gurugram and cities of Uttar Pradesh. But cinema halls are cancelling shows anticipating attack.
