The first poster of the film, along with the title, was unveiled on Saturday morning. The film will also mark the directorial debut of Shauna Gautam, who previously worked as an assistant director to Karan Johar on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

The poster of Nadaaniyan features Ibrahim and Khushi dressed in casuals, sitting on a lush green field, semi-embracing each other. They are seen smiling and beaming with joy as they look towards the camera.

However, netizens were not pleased with Khushi being paired with Ibrahim. Many criticized the casting, calling them "nepokids" and expressing concerns that they might ruin the film.

A user wrote, " Why netflix having soft spot for Khushi?"

Another user mentioned, "Nepokids get their 2nd, 3rd film even before their first movie release. Nepotism is REAL."

The third one mentioned, "why khushi she cant act Isn't that obvious?"

The fourth user mentioned, "Khushi Kapoor has the expressions of a stone."

The fifth one mentioned," Good job for not releasing it in theatres..saved money for distributors.."

The poster was launched days after Karan Johar confirmed that he was set to introduce Ibrahim Ali Khan under his production house, Dharmatic Entertainment. Apart from Karan, Khushi Kapoor also teased her involvement in the project by sharing a cryptic photo of a mystery man, whom she is seen hugging tightly.
