A Reddit user shared an article about the change in casting, questioning whether Sai Pallavi was dropped abruptly or if someone's PR team was involved. Netizens wasted no time in expressing their disappointment with the decision, particularly regarding the chemistry between Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. Many felt that Sai Pallavi would have been a better fit for the role and expressed their dissatisfaction with the nepotism prevalent in the industry.

Comments flooded in, accusing Alia Bhatt of snatching projects from other actresses, leveraging reduced fees, aggressive PR tactics, and using connections to maintain her position in the industry. Some criticized the influence of Karan Johar, referring to Alia Bhatt as a nepo star who seizes every opportunity available, despite mediocre acting skills.

Netizens also questioned if Alia Bhatt would continue to dominate projects alongside Ranbir Kapoor, expressing concern about her potential impact on his career.
