Shivangi's tweet read, "Saw #Thugsofhindustan honestly I didn’t quite understand why the film is getting so much flak. I went with a clean slate and the film entertained me. Can’t speak for anyone else but I thoroughly enjoyed the film. @SrBachchan truly demonstrates why he’s called a legend."

Even Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan came out in support of his fellow actor. In a statement to Telegraph, the Zero actor said, "It’s a little personal and I don’t know whether it’s right to say it or not. This is something that’s saddened me and so I want to share it. There are people who have given excellence to the cinema for years. A film can be good, a film can be bad; none of us can ever claim ki maine duniya ki sabsi achchi film banayi hain."

The actor further added, "Mr Bachchan and Aamir have been people who have constantly contributed to the excellence of cinema. The greatest contribution to Hindi cinema in the last 10 years has been from Aamir, and with Amitji, it’s been even longer. Now if a film of theirs (Thugs of Hindostan) doesn’t reach the level that you expected it to, does it take away from what they have done for cinema?"
