Writer-director Vishal Mishra and producer Vinod Ramani today visited the office of DCP(New Delhi) BK Singh and submitted a complaint.
In the complaint, they have alleged that they have been receiving threat calls from Chhota Shakeel's office asking them to delete scenes from the film that show Dawood Ibrahim in bad light.
Police said that the compliant is being looked into.
When asked about the reason for filing the complaint in Delhi, when they are based out of Mumbai, Mishra said, "The first call came to us while we were in Delhi. Thereafter we have received calls from a Dubai number and an internet number asking us to not release the film or remove the scenes altogether."
The film revolves around a journalist played by Sunil Grover who interviews Dawood Ibrahim.
Mishra said that while Bollywood films have glorified Dawood, their film pokes fun at him which is the reason that has irked his aides.
