This has irked the audiences to no end. The internet is buzzing with extreme reactions where people are calling out the makers for not being insensitive.

One user wrote, ¡°Gross also what is up with Nawaaz's movie choices? (sic)¡±.

Another one wrote, ¡°I have a problem with this casting, like how tf they decided to put Nawazuddin and Avneet against each other as husband and wife, did the casting director lost his mind or something, Abbeh choti bachhi hai woh (She is a kid)

Producer Kangana who is herself very vocal about such issues hasn¡¯t commented on the ongoing discussion as of yet.

Check out the reactions right here:

It's so disappointing to see Avneet Kaur, who is just 21, paired opposite someone who is 49.

Nawazuddin earlier called Tiku an endearing character while Avneet called working with him, an enriching experience

Talking about the film, Nawazuddin Siddiqui had said, ¡°Tiku Weds Sheru is a comedy-drama that weaves elements of real life struggles that people go through with a unique love story. Tiku and Sheru, are very different personalities who have a common dream. What excited me about Sheru is that while personifying challenges faced by individuals aspiring to achieve success in the entertainment industry, he is relatable, brings his own set of quirks, and stands out as an endearing character.¡±
