However, both Kangana and Nawaz cleared their stance on the content and kissing sequence in the film. In fact, to everyone's surprise, Kangana has a surprise cameo in the film.

Well, the netizens have seen the film and taken to social media and given their first review.

The film Tiku Weds Shreu got mixed reviews. Some lauded Avneet's performance, while some lauded Nawaz.

She has been getting rave reviews from critics. "Avneet Kaur is a revelation," wrote one critic. "She brings a freshness and energy to the role that is infectious", said another.

A user wrote, "#TikuWedsSheru is such a MESS. Barring glimpses of Avneet's potential, the screenplay takes the shape of utter randomness. Is this satire? A romance of misfits? Or just an aged man taking his daughter to her 12th-grade conti! The profanity is excessive & I want my time back."

She said, "It feels like I am making yet another debut. This film is very special for me because I haven't told anyone yet, but this film was launched earlier. Many years ago, around six-seven years ago, Irrfan (Khan) sir and I were doing this film. We had invited the media and it was a big launch (event). At that time the film was called Divine Lovers. Unfortunately, after that my director fell ill and then we tried making it for the next two-three years but it never took off."
