The trio was visiting a mall in Pune as part of the film’s promotional tour when the fan event spiralled out of control. Videos from the venue show a massive crowd flooding towards the actors, leaving all three struggling to move. According to reports and onlookers, the promotional event had to be cut short after fans broke through security barricades. Shahid Kapoor appeared visibly frustrated as he pushed through the crowd, while security worked to escort the actors out of the venue.
