Varun Badola's take on the craze
While the makers of the film continue to claim that the buzz and the frenzy around the film is all genuine and organic, actor Varun Badola hinted at something else. The prolific actor who plays Ahaan's father in the film, had accused the PR team of going a little overboard.
"I saw the euphoria on Instagram. Log jo chudiyaan tod rahe hai, chaatiyaan peet rahe hai. (People bawling, breaking bangles, beating their chests). I think the promotions team went a little overboard... putting IV drips. Those people must have been told to give content. Thank god, people didn't get their legs broken and go crawling to see the film," he told Screen.
"But it's good only up to a certain level," he said. "People have gone and seen the film, and they have loved it," he further added.
