One particular topic gaining traction on social media is Kiara Advani's presence in the trailer.
In one scene, she's seen in an army uniform saluting, and in another, she's wearing a bikini, flaunting her body.
These contrasting visuals have triggered discussions around the portrayal of women in cinema, especially in action films.
Many online users are questioning why women, particularly those playing spy agents, are often shown in bikinis or revealing outfits. They argue that such characters should be dressed more appropriately to reflect their serious roles.

In response, others pointed out that Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR are seen shirtless in the trailer, and no one seems to object. So why is Kiara's semi-nude appearance sparking such outrage?
Some argued that just because a woman plays a spy doesn't mean she can't embrace her femininity or flaunt her body. There might be a specific narrative reason behind the bikini scene, and it may be crucial to the plot so premature judgment isn't fair.
On the other hand, some critics claim that this trend began as a way to attract more male audiences to theaters by objectifying women.
According to them, scenes like these serve as "eye candy" and reduce women's bodies to tools for boosting ticket sales. They argue it's high time the industry moves beyond using female bodies as mere objects of desire.
They believe that the bikini shot was intentionally included in the trailer to grab attention and generate buzz.
As the debate intensifies, fans are now curious to see whether this is just another instance of objectification or if it genuinely serves a purpose in the story.
