The filmmakers agreed to the suggestion of adding the disclaimer mentioning the criminality of such acts. On Monday, the court had said prenatal sex determination cannot be shown as something acceptable and routine, and asked the producers Yash Raj Films to show the entire scene to them. The division bench of Justice Navin Chawla and Justice Manoj Kumar Ohri on 10 May recorded the statement given by the counsel representing the Yash Raj Films. The court was also told that similar warnings shall be put in all the formats including trailers on Youtube within a week.
