Kapil Dev, Manoj Prabhakar, Navjot Singh Siddhu and even Ravi Shastri have desired the special preview of the film to ascertain if they were shown in the positive light or not.

Former Indian pacer Prabhakar who was witness to match-fixing scandal during the hey-days of Azhar, is reported to be the most concerned about portrayal of his character. All these players were part of the Indian cricket team when the match-fixing scandal hit the cricket world hard and Azhar was found to be involved and subsequently put under ban.
