The whole row had sparked off due to one particular poster featuring Shah Rukh Khan which had what looked like a Kirpan in it. Sirsa had alleged that the makers cannot defile a holy object like that, to which 'Zero' team had clarified saying that it was not a Kirpan but actually a Katar, hence it is not hurting Sikh sentiments in any manner.
