Sunny Deol is currently basking in the success of his latest action film Jaat, directed by Gopichand Malineni. However, the film recently drew controversy due to a particular scene that offended members of the Christian community.

The scene in question showed Randeep, a character in the film, standing inside a church beneath a crucifix while chaos and intimidation unfolded during a prayer gathering. The depiction of such violence inside a sacred space sparked strong objections from the Christian community.

Responding to the backlash, Mythri Movie Makers, the film’s production house, issued an official statement on social media. They confirmed the immediate removal of the scene from the film and expressed their regret over unintentionally hurting religious sentiments.

“There has been a backlash for a specific scene in the film. The scene has been removed from the film with immediate effect. Our intention was not to hurt any religious sentiments. We deeply regret it and have taken a quick action of deleting the scene from the film. We sincerely apologize to everyone whose beliefs have been hurt," read the statement.

"Our sincere apologies to everyone whose sentiments were hurt. The objectionable scene has been removed," wrote Gopichand Malineni also on X.
