A PIL was filed by Mukesh Sharma, who felt that the six scenes that had been used to promote the popular reality show, were ‘insulting, defamatory and maligning the slogan’. Out of these six scenes, five are said to be derogatory to the slogan. The PIL also expressed surprise over Bachchan’s decision to do such promos, which defamed a slogan coined by a freedom fighter.
