Krish was cut from the film, and Kangana stated that she reshot substantial chunks of it, for which she received a co-director credit. Krish had disputed Kangana's claim that she had shot 70% of the film in a 2019 interview with SpotboyE.

Furthermore, in a 2019 interview, "Manikarnika" actor Mishti Chakravarty attacked Kangana Ranaut, saying that her role had been trimmed short and that if she had known Kangana was directing the film, she would not have done it.
