A source told The Times of India, "This is not an issue against any actor or film, the farmers wanted them to support their cause since agriculture is something that affects everyone." "Not just Janhvi, they also demanded that other Bollywood actors too should come out in support of the farmers." The movie's shoot was disrupted by protesting farmers earlier this month too.
