Surprisingly, people online are thrilled that the casting finally broke free from the widely criticized huge age differences in Bollywood couples, offering a fresh chemistry.
However, not all reactions have been positive. Some viewers feel that while Chitrangda is a talented actress, she lacks the commercial pull associated with big-banner heroines.

There’s a rising concern that the film might rely too heavily on Salman’s star power, rather than offering a balanced dynamic.
Previously, similar concerns were raised about Salman’s decision to collaborate with Apoorva Lakhia, a director whose track record lacks any recent notable successes.

Now, with the film set against the emotionally charged backdrop of the Galwan Valley conflict, the pressure is even higher.
Some have also pointed out that it might be difficult to picture Salman as a military officer considering it’s quite obvious how much he’s aged, and even if age-appropriate, will his chemistry with Chitrangda shine?
There are rumors that the growing political tension between Salman and the Bishnoi gang is one reason for his recent questionable decisions.
Social media users feel that his ongoing security concerns might be quietly affecting Salman’s ability to collaborate with top filmmakers or big-name actresses, limiting his options.
While nothing is officially confirmed, the shift in his choices—from large-scale commercial projects to smaller, less flashy collaborations—has people wondering if outside forces are now significantly affecting Salman’s career trajectory.
