In further updates, Of late, the use of the song Shoorveer, dedicated to Maharana Pratap, in a gangster scene sparked row. Rapperiya Baalam, the original singer, objected to this usage. Senior BJP leader and former leader of the opposition in the Rajasthan Assembly, Rajendra Rathore, also objected and wrote to the CBFC, asking them to remove it from the movie.
On top of that, “The use of Rapperiya Baalam's Shoorveer song in Mirzapur The Movie alongside gangsters, drug peddlers and criminal characters is extremely objectionable and hurts public sentiments,” Rathore shared in the letter written to the CBFC, according to PTI. Rathore claimed that such a portrayal amounted to disrespect towards Maharana Pratap and the historical and cultural heritage associated with him. He also called linking two different contexts, like Maharana Pratap and gangsters, ‘inappropriate’.
