A senior representative of Distribution company expressed his viewsregarding the movie that,“It is disappointing to see that films oncontroversial subjects are being produced in India time and again,” Headded, “All our distributors are well aware of Alia’s role in Raazi and so,no one is willing to purchase the film. Patriotism is another reason fordistributors not being pushed about buying the film.
