Yaariyan 2 starring Meezaan Jafri, Divya Khosla Kumar, and Pearl Puri has been creating headlines for quite some time now, as recently a FIR was registered on the complaint of the Sikh Talmel Committee, a body of Sikh organisations on the charges of hurting religious sentiments after a song showed Meezaan wearing a ‘kirpan.'
Now, the makers of Yaariyan 2 have issued an official statement and revealed that they have replaced and removed the visuals from the film. The statement reads as follows: "We would like to apologize for any content which has been perceived to be objectionable/inadvertently hurt.
