If you noticed, there is no mention of KriArj Entertainment in the poster.

Our rights in the film as a joint producer/presenter and owner of all rights are fully secured, we have always fulfilled all our commitments till date and have clear intent to continue doing so," reported PTI.

KriArj Entertainment has now lodged an FIR against the actor and his production house. mid-day reports that KriArj has accused JA Entertainment of duping them out of crores of rupees that were invested during the filming.

The principal shooting of Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran was completed in 2017.

Parmanu's release date was rescheduled multiple times to avoid clash with Deepika Padukone's "Padmaavat", Akshay Kumar's PadMan and Anushka Sharma's Pari.

Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran is based on the nuclear tests conducted at the Indian army's Pokhran Test Range in May 1998.
