His Instagram reply drew wide fan reactions across platforms, as coverage added box-office context for both films.

Overview

  • Rane commented on an Instagram reel that favored his Vikramaditya over Panday’s Krish Kapoor, writing, “Ma’am, aapki kismat mein bhi ek aisa ladka LIKHA hai.”
  • The reel described Vikramaditya as more sincere and vice-free and labeled Krish Kapoor a “womaniser,” prompting mixed pushback in the comments.
  • Fan responses split across Instagram and Reddit, with users arguing over which character resonated more and whether Rane’s note was a subtle dig.
