Following the backlash, the filmmakers issued an apology and removed the controversial church scene from the film. Deol addressed the concerns, stating, “We are not talking about religion. We are artists, we belong to the country. We love everyone and everyone loves us. We are all part of one country.”

Despite the controversy, Jaat has garnered attention for its high-octane action sequences and the intense showdown between Deol and Hooda. The film’s teaser, released in December 2024, showcased Deol’s character wielding a massive fan as a weapon, hinting at the film’s action-packed narrative.

As the situation unfolds, the impact of the controversy on the film’s box office performance remains to be seen.
