Speaking about the hot topic of ‘cancel culture’ in the industry, Pannu stated prior to release, “Please everyone boycott our film, Dobaaraa. I want to be in the same league as Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan. I feel left out.” To which, director Anurag Kashyap added, “Yes please, I want our film to trend on the boycott hashtag as well.”
