The movie has been under fire due to netizens calling it a mysoginistic movie. In a conversation with PTI, Bobby Deol, who plays the role of the antagonist, said, "There's good and evil in every human being, and what gets the evil out of you is some situation. As an actor, you think of yourself as a character. 'I'm doing nothing wrong; I'm right in whatever I do'. You forget how to judge what is right and wrong."
