The motion poster was met with heavy criticism on social media, with many accusing the makers of raking up past controversial claims that the monument built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan was constructed on the site of an older Hindu temple.
Paresh Rawal soon deleted the post and shared a disclaimer from the makers of The Taj Story, saying the film "doesn't deal with any religious issue" and only focuses on "historical facts".
Following the public outrage over the film's poster, Paresh Rawal took to X to address the trolling.
