As controversies surrounding big-budgeted films becomes a trend in Bollywood, actor Ajay Devgn feels that unknown entities create controversies to become famous.

"Controversies also happen because some people want to create controversies. But some do have genuine issues," the actor who plays a cop in Singham Returns said.
The film also ran into a small controversy when a right-wing Hindu organisation Hindu Janajagruti Samiti asked the Censor Board of Film Certification to ban the filmstating that it depicts Hindu saints in a bad light. "That is now sorted as there is nothing controversial in the film," the actor said.
He also put the onus on the media saying, "It is the media's job to understand it and ignore it and become a responsible media."
