Filmmaker Nikhil Advani is upset with Dar Motion Pictures, co-producers and owners of exploitation rights of the film 'D Day'.

A still from 'D Day'

The director says, “One needs to maintain the sanctity of a film and ensure that it is marketed in a certain manner. The distributors of the Tamil version have promoted it as a pornographic film by using only Shruti Hasan’s photo in the film’s poster.

The film stars stalwarts such as Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan but they chose to ignore them completely and this is highly irresponsible on their part.

We were not even consulted before making these alterations and we are now contemplating legal action against them.”

In support, Shruti Hasan tweeted: “I am not associated with the Tamil version of D Day -- this matter is under legal consideration at the moment.’’
