After Manoj Bajpayee's Ghooskhor Pandat title row, another film has landed in soup. A fresh controversy has now erupted in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal district over a new film titled Yadav Ji Ki Love Story. Members of the Yadav community have strongly objected to the film’s content and have demanded that it be banned.

Representatives of the Yadav community have alleged that the film’s title and script have been specifically designed to target their community. They claim that such narratives disrupt social harmony and the broader social fabric.
What is the aftermath of Yadav Ji Ki Love Story controversy?
Considering the sensitivity of the issue, the local police and administration are on alert. The police have confirmed receiving the complaint and stated that an investigation has been initiated, and appropriate action will be taken based on the findings.

At present, the situation remains tense but under control, and all eyes are on whether the film’s release or screening will be halted.
