- The petitioner has asked the court to quash certification, suspend the film's release or order title reconsideration and disclaimers, citing the release slated for next week and urging interim relief.
- Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Wednesday the public should reject 'hate campaigns' and called the sequel's release a serious matter, while producers had agreed in Supreme Court proceedings to include a disclaimer about unverified figures.
