What exactly is the scene?
In one scene, an officer arrives at a party and sees someone smoking a joint. When he realizes the person isn't from Bollywood, he gets annoyed. But when he spots another person standing with a drink (without drugs), he's arrested just because they're from Bollywood. This moment has sparked speculation among viewers about its possible real-life reference to Wankhede's actions during Khan's arrest.
