KD The Devil Controversy

The movie was embroiled in a controversy after the song, Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke, featuring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt grabbed everyone's attention. Many people felt that the lyrics of the song were vulgar, and it received a backlash on social media. Later, the song was removed from YouTube.
