Here's a closer look.

Mohit Suri calls Ahaan Panday a 'cringe' Tiktoker

Talking about the duo with Komal Nahata, Mohit Suri said that he has not tapped into other "dimensions" of the actors. The filmmaker recalled Ahaan asking the creative director what he saw in his audition that made him cast in the movie. The actor was just told that he was the 'right' fit for the role. Mohit said, "He has this whole other side to him where he dances like a gallery man. He can dance for front-benchers."

The director didn't stop there as he revealed that one has to see the videos Ahaan pulled down from his social media accounts. Mohit said, "The boy is a full ‘c*****i TikToker."

Suri added that Panday is a "Gaiety Galaxy boy," but no one saw that part of him because it wasn't required in the film.
