 Amitabh Bachchan found himself in legal trouble, before the release  of the film. What sparked off the controversy is the publicity  hoarding which shows Amitabh Bachchan smoking a cigar. The National  Organization for Tobacco Eradication has accused the star of  violating the Cigarettes and other Tobacco Products Act. These  hoardings are along the national highway in Panaji. Such hoardings  are banned under Goa Prohibition of Smoking and Spitting Act. The  star has been accused of promoting the habit of smoking.
