Vanga, who quickly gets touchy whenever a question arises against his film, immediately replied, "But that didn't happen in the scene... You have a problem with the joota chato scene, but no problem with the hero killing 300 people?" "Yes, there is a problem," Manasi said.

During the conversation, Manasi reminded Sandeep about Javed Akhtar's comment and said, "Javed Akhtar said it's dangerous for society, and I agree with him." Reacting to this, Sandeep shared, "If Javed Ji wasn't a lyricist or story writer, I'd take his words seriously."
