Netflix removed the teaser and all promotional materials for the film "Ghooskhor Pandat" on February 6, 2026. The removal followed controversy surrounding the title. An FIR filed in Lucknow, a petition in the Delhi High Court, and a notice from the Film Makers Combine triggered the action.
Director Neeraj Pandey and lead actor Manoj Bajpayee issued public statements addressing the concerns. They explained the title refers to a character's nickname. They confirmed the title was not intended to offend any community. The promotional materials were taken down to ensure the film is judged in its entirety, rather than by partial glimpses.
