The backlash around the track continued to grow, with several netizens criticising the makers for promoting vulgarity. After days of criticism, the makers reportedly made changes and blurred the scenes, which viewers pointed out.
On August 1, co-singer Sonu Thukral visited the cyber cell and formally lodged a police complaint. He publicly stated that the viral footage and circulating explicit clips are not authentic and were doctored or manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI) to create fake controversy.
