Abbasi had surplus concerns regarding the ongoing problems faced by the film.

The film was initially cleared by censor boards in both Punjab and Sindh, but was suddenly rejected by the federal censor board, without informing what the actual problem was.

He continued to clarify that there is nothing objectionable in the film and that the physical act of cannibalism has not been shown at all.

“I don’t understand what has caused this revocation, my film does not have any vulgarity, not a single cuss word, not a single act of violence, and even if there is, I am willing to cut out whatever is objectionable if I am informed”, Shamoon Abbasi said.
