He went on to talk about the issues between Indian and Pakistan. "If North Korea and America can solve their dispute, then why can't India and Pakistan?" Kapoor questioned.

The cast and crew of the film have previously been trolled for the venture being 'pro-Muslim',  saying it has been funded by Dawood Ibrahim.

Sinha, who has been accused of running a propaganda to garner support and sympathy for Muslims through his film, has hit out at trolls by confirming that Mulk has not been funded by anyone and it's not about Hindus or Muslims.
