In the trailer, we see Akshay Kumar’s character, Bachchhan Paandey, grasping Pankaj Tripathi’s crotch when the latter is handing over the film’s script. Netizens believe that this scene was ripped off from a popular viral meme that circulates on social media. People also blasted the film’s poster, which shows Akshay and Jacqueline posing with a straw in their lips and a coconut in their hands. This stance was also allegedly inspired by a viral meme.
