Will the removal of song affect 'Dream Girl' theatrical narrative?

For the uninitiated, Dhagala Lagali was a promotional song in Dream Girl featuring Riteish Deshmukh, Ayushmann and Nushrat Bharucha. Since the song wasn't a part of the movie's narrative, the removal of the song will not affect the theatrical version of the film.
