Referring to the recent terror attack on Kashmir's Pahalgam region, Akshay said the incident has stirred the same kind of anger that his character showed in his film.

Akshay Kumar said, “Unfortunately aaj bhi humare sab ke dil mein woh gussa phir se jaga hain. Aap sab log achchi tarah se jaante he main kis cheez ki baat kar raha hoon. Aaj bhi hum un terrorists o ko ek hi baat kehna chahenge. Jo maine iss film mein kahi he, kya (Even today we are feeling the same anger all over again. All of you know exactly what I am talking about. Today also I want to say the same few words to the terrorists which I have said in the film. What)? (sic)”

The audience is heard responding with a dialogue of Akshay from the film. Together, they said, “F*** you.”
