Before his concert, the Telangana government had issued a warning to him, banning him from singing songs about alcohol and violence. At the concert, Diljit took a jibe at the warning.

“When artists come here from other countries, they are allowed to do whatever they want… But when an artist from your own country is singing, people have problems,” Diljit said. A video of the same is now going viral. Concert attendees also shared videos in which Diljit was seen singing the songs on the themes but with a few tweaks.
