    Netizens react to the post

    The post was thereafter shared on the discussion platform, Reddit, where fans began speculating whether the comment was a tongue-in-cheek jab at someone in the industry or perhaps a general commentary on the filmy world’s behind-the-scenes drama. A user penned, “You’re not shady, but you are a hypocrite after casting mediocre star kids and going against the very fabric of your debut film.” Another said, “Yehi khud hi problem ka hissa hai toh isse pata hai ki iska Epstein nahi hoga.” A comment read, “This shirt has more authenticity than half the industry.” Some users wondered if the post was an indirect jab at Karan Johar, as May 25 also marked his birthday.
