A woman wearing beautiful Indian clothing is shown in the poster thumbnail making a silent attitude while holding a lotus close to her waist and two peacocks on either side. People on social media have compared the situation to Goddess Lakshmi, a beloved Hindu deity who is frequently seen sitting on a lotus flower.

One Twitter user expressed outrage over what they saw to be ridicule, writing, "ALT Balaji belongs to Ektaa Kapoor, yet the work is absolutely opposite. Adult scenes are given there, and now someone has made a crude thumbnail of Goddess Lakshmi on a lotus flower that resembles her. Do you all share my objections, or am I the only one who finds it objectionable?
