Although there is no concrete proof for the same, Deepika Padukone's visit to Jawaharlal Nehru University and people cancelling their movie tickets and sharing screenshots of the same appear to have affected the movie immensely.

Ajay Devgn, Kajol and Saif Ali Khan's Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Rajinikanth's Darbar and Mahesh Babu's Sarileru Neekevvaru released have been giving tough competition to Meghna Gulzar's directorial Chhapaak.
