Recently, the makers also announced that advance booking for the film has commenced, writing, '1 DAY TO GO. A presence you won’t forget - #SATHYAVATI. #KDTheDevil brings the biggest Retro Fest to theatres.'
Trailer Taken Down Earlier
Earlier, the film faced an issue with its trailer, which had to be removed from YouTube. The makers explained that the trailer inadvertently included certain uncertified content during the certification process. In a statement, they said, 'The trailer of KD: The Devil recently released on YouTube inadvertently included certain uncertified content during certification process.' They also mentioned that a new version would be uploaded soon, adding, 'We sincerely regret this oversight and remain fully committed to adhering to all certification norms.'
Song Controversy
The Hindi version of the song 'Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke' from the film also sparked controversy. Many viewers objected to its lyrics and visuals.
