The controversy surrounding the movie persists despite its box office success. The cast and crew were criticized for collaborating with Hania Aamir, breaking the FWICE's long-standing ban on Pakistani talent. However, Naseeruddin Shah is among the few members of the film industry who have shown their support for the Punjabi singer-actor. In a Facebook post that has since been removed, Shah defended Diljit Dosanjh by saying that he had nothing to do with the casting choices.
Naseeruddin Shah wrote, "I STAND FIRMLY WITH DILJIT. The dirty tricks deptt of Jumla Party has been awaiting a chance to attack him. They think they’ve got it at last. He was not responsible for the casting of the film, the director was. But no one knows who he is whereas Diljit is known the world over, and he agreed to the cast because his mind is not poisoned. What these goons want is to put an end to personal interaction between the people of India and Pakistan. I have close relatives and some dear friends there and no one can stop me from meeting them or sending them love whenever i feel like it. And my response to those who will say Go to Pakistan is Go To Kailasa (sic)."
