Less than a month from its release, the film has been dragged into a controversy. A Hindu group - Janajagruti Samiti - has objected to a sequence in the title song Hud Hud Dabangg that shows saffron-clad sadhus dancing with guitars.Some people on social media also disapproved the scene and, soon after, #BoycottDabangg3 was trending on Twitter.

On Saturday, at the launch of Munna Badnaam Hua, Salman reacted to the controversy and said, when a big release is approaching, some controversy comes up around it. “Every time a big film comes there is always some controversy around it. At least, it is acknowledged that this is a big film and I’m happy about it,” PTI quoted him as saying.

“We had done a film with Warina, where the title of her film had led to controversy, which has been cleared and dismissed. So controversies do happen, they get cleared. I don’t think there is anything in this film, that a controversy can be created,” he added.
