Many fans wished for a theatrical release of Mission Majnu, and this continued to be echoed on Twitter even after it was available on Netflix on January 20.

When asked his opinion of this, he replied, "When the trailer was released, everyone was talking about the elements a spy story should have. I'm not sure why people review trailers - it's the film that can be critiqued - but I guess there must be a valid reason for it. You should not make any comments on a film you have not seen yet. It might be best to watch the film before forming an opinion. Though Mission Majnu and Raazi may have some similar elements, they are very different stories.

“Mission Majnu is based on a true story of a spy with a smart mind, and it is more realistic than other spy movies which portray their protagonists as superheroes.” ,he added
