The film was earlier caught in controversy, when its director, Vikas Bahl, was accused of sexual harassment during India's MeToo movement. After the accusations emerged online, Hrithik had announced on Twitter in October, that the film's producers, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Reliance Entertainment, would "take a harsh stand if need be".
