Film Paharganj  has come under fire as the residents, traders and the Residents Welfare Association ( RWA)  have staged a protest against it. The residents of the area have taken a strong stand against the depiction of the locality in the film that revolves around the life of a foreign woman who visits India in search of her boyfriend who goes missing in the hippy area of Delhi.

The producer Prakash Bhagat shared that the film is a fictional story that revolves around a Spanish woman who comes to Paharganj in the search of her lost love. The producer further added that "the film’s intent is in no way to embarrass, humiliate or agonize the residents, RWA, the traders of Paharganj or the viewers. It is a fictional story which is shot in the lanes of Paharganj and not based on any persons living in or visiting the locality.

Speaking about the ongoing protests and the further course of action, the producer said that “when the time is right, we will meet the RWA members and will brief them about the film and the misconception they have drawn by watching the trailer and the other videos are not true.”

He added that the entire film is fictional and the RWA or traders should not have even an iota of doubt that at any point of time, “the film has not shown any business or people living in Paharganj in the bad light.”

 The producer said that the movie will release on April 12 and there will be no delay in release.
