The film was also previously in buzz following the goof-up found by netizens in the film's poster. Netizens had heavily trolled Parineeti for a wrong indication of hand movement while serving the shuttlecock. For this Parineeti Chopra had indicated that she does accept constructive criticism with open hands but simply does not waste her time on unnecessary trolls. Chopra said, "I function very differently. If I find criticism valid, I will take it up sportingly. But if I don’t find any merit in it then I ignore it."

Further, according to sources, Parineeti Chopra had asked for tips from the global icon Priyanka Chopra. She also said that Priyanka advised her to capture the feel of the character rather than focusing on the looks. Priyanka Chopra too had played the lead role in the biopic of the Indian boxer Mary Kom.
