The end credits appear shortly following the message, with images of Deepika on screen. Surprisingly, her name did not appear in the end credits of the film that is currently streaming on Netflix and Prime Video. This clip was heavily discussed on Reddit, with people calling out this move by the makers of the film. One user wrote, “It’s one thing to have a falling out, but this is just downright unprofessional. She’s literally in the film and promoted it. The irony here is that they called Deepika unprofessional, but then turn around and behave like this,” while another commented, “That’s unprofessional now it seems like DP did hurt male ego, nothing else .”
Padukone also had a controversy with Sandeep Reddy Vanga on his upcoming film Spirit, where he claimed that the actress was ‘too demanding.’ She will be next seen in King with Shah Rukh Khan.
