A scene in Jaat, showing Randeep Hooda standing in front of the holy cross of the Christians to suggest that he has been sent to Earth by Jesus Christ, is said to have hurt the religious sentiments of a section of the public. Following a backlash they’ve received for the controversial scene, the producers have forthwith deleted the scene.
A clarification from the producers says: “Our intention was not to hurt any religious sentiments. We deeply regret it and have taken a quick action of deleting the scene from the film. We sincerely apologise to everyone whose beliefs have been hurt.”
Randeep Hooda plays the antagonist in the film which stars Sunny Deol as the protagonist.
