The trailer of Tiku Weds Sheru has sparked a massive backlash over a kissing scene between its lead actors. The film revolves around Sheru, a struggling actor in Mumbai. His family finds him a bride, Tiku, who dreams of becoming an actor. The two get married, and a series of events unfold thereafter.
However, Nawazuddin and Avneet’s lip-lock scene in the trailer has shocked a section of social media users, owing to the age gap between the two actors. While the actor is 49, Avneet is 21. Reacting to the trailer, one of the social media users wrote, “Can’t defend Nawaz anymore. Bahut ho gaya outside outsider.” Another wrote, “Gross also what is up with Nawazuddin movie choices?” A third social media user commented, “This is just nasty, Avneet was probably 20 when the shooting of this movie started, she is also highly sexualised in the trailer.”
Meanwhile, the film will mark Avneet Kaur’s big Bollywood debut. Tiku Weds Sheru is backed by Bollywood queen Kangana Ranaut. At the film’s trailer launch on Wednesday, Avneet Kaur had an emotional breakdown and shared that she worked extremely hard for her debut film and was grateful to Kangana for giving her this opportunity.
