Manjinder S Sirsa, who is a member of Legislative Assembly, Delhi (MLA) and National spokesperson Shiromani Akali Dal, demands that objectionable scene and the poster showing Kirpaan as ordinary dagger should be removed from the film 'Zero'. He says that if his demands are not met then the community will be forced to stage protests outside movie theatres.
On his Facebook post, Sirsa further added, “I demand Shahrukh Khan & Zero film producer Gauri Khan to immediately withdraw this poster #Zero. We would be forced to take legal action against Zero film team if this poster and promotion is not withdrawn.”

Rai and is jointly produced by Colour Yellow Productions and Red Chillies Entertainment's Gauri Khan, and distributed by Red Chillies Entertainment. Shah Rukh plays the role of a vertically-challenged person in the film, which is set to be released on December 21. The makers of the film zero are yet to comment on the controversy.
