SAD leaders Manjit Singh GK and Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that their party will continue protesting against the film even though this should have been done by the government.

The movie features controversial Chief of Dera Sacha Sauda Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. Haryana and Chandigarh has been put on high alert to deal with the crisis situation the film might create due to its controversial subject.

The film was initially denied the release certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification, India and was sent to a revising committee. The members of the Central Board of Film Certification objected to the portrayal of Singh as a God in the movie. On 15 January 2015 the film was cleared for screening by the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal. Singh denied that he had called himself God in the film ‘MSG:The Messenger ‘. He further added that there was nothing objectionable in his film and that the Central Board of Film Certification has muted just two words.
