Writer Navjot Gulati took to his Twitter account and wrote, “If you want top billing as a Screenwriter in a trailer(something that should be the norm)You need to marry into the production house. Once the Writer becomes a family member, is treated like an Actor-Star. #Goals.” He appeared to be referring to the standalone plate given to Kanika Dhillon in the upcoming Netflix film, directed by Vinil Mathew and starring Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane. Kanika, who has written the script, also has movies like Manmarziyaan, Kedarnath, Judgementall Hai Kya and Guilty to her credit. Kanika Dhillon was quick to respond, “Hi @Navjotalive. I am quite shocked by ur extremely SEXIST – MYSOGINIST and bordering on IDIOTIC comment Neither will I list down my body of work cos ur pea sized brain will not be able to process a successful woman making it on her own! U may hav a brain freeze! Have a good day.” In another tweet, she added, “And mr @Navjotalive because of writers like YOU – who display their STUPIDITY on something tht should be Applauded as a welcome step by the writing fraternity- other very deserving writers do not get top Billing as is their right—- shame on u!”
