Titled Nyaay: The Justice, the film has been speculated to be based on SSR’s life; a social worker Manish Mishra filed his appeal in court stating the film is maligning Rajput’s reputation and having unclear facts.

Reports further stated that the investigation of the case is still on, “Investigation in respect to the said matter is yet to decide about the correctness of either suicide or murder.’’
