Special Ops 2: Did you notice makers changing THIS real-life detail about UPIs in Kay Kay Menon starrer?
Makers replace 'UPI' with 'OBI' in Special Ops Season 2, old trailer removed
According to a recent report by Bollywood Hungama, the makers have modified a sequence in Special Ops 2 featuring the word 'UPI'. Quoting a source, the portal mentioned a sequence in which Tahir Raj Bhasin's character attempts to access the data of UPI (Unified Payments Interface) users for malicious intent.
According to the source, the word 'UPI' has been changed to 'OBI' in Special Ops 2. The source added that the makers have also removed the old trailer on YouTube. Now, a new trailer is available to watch, which mentions the word 'OBI'.
Release date of Kay Kay Menon's series was pushed from July 11 to July 18
The trailer of Special Ops Season 2 also has its new release date, July 18. Calling it a "sensitive" topic, an industry insider shared that the makers may have been asked by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) not to mention UPI. This is why the release date of the Kay Kay Menon starrer was postponed to July 18, 2025, as the team had to rework on dubbing and other factors.
The change doesn't affect the plot of the show or what the villain is discussing in the scene, the insider added. The terms, including those related to the Reserve Bank of India and China, have been allowed to remain in the series.

"I was just holding it and sitting like that. I wasn't even smoking. It was just for the style, for the pose. Then suddenly, so many things came out on YouTube-'I'm a chain smoker' and what not. I said, let them talk. My family is my most important, my greatest asset. If they know how I am, then what difference does it make what they print?," she recalled. "It was a proper photoshoot. The look was totally different. I wasn't casually smoking with a group or playing Sonalika doing that. If they don't understand that, let them talk," she said. "Maybe they're enjoying it. Maybe their YouTube is getting views. Either they get some sadistic pleasure, or they just want to be judgmental. Let them," Sonalika added.
