“After the trailer released, one of Barjatya’s assistant directors informed him about references being made to him and asked him to watch it. He is upset that his name has been used without permission,” Mumbai tabloid Mid Day quoted a source.
In the trailer, Mandana is seen introducing her beau Tusshar Kapoor to her father, who is all about sanskaar and family values. Tusshar then says, “Tumhare daddy Sooraj Barjatya ke filmon ke babuji jaise honge pata nahin tha.” Mandana then replies, “Mere daddy Barjatya nahin, Karjatya hain. Surya Karjatya.”
