Despite the hype, the film failed to impress the audience. However, even during the promotion of the film, there was one subject that Ibrahim refrained from engaging in, that being his father, Saif Ali Khan, being stabbed in the comfort of his own home in Bandra a few months prior. Fortunately, Saif is now well and with his family; Ibrahim has finally opened up about the ordeal and revealed how it affected him.

He shared that Saif asked for him and said that if he were there, he would have beaten the attacker up, which made Ibrahim break down. The young actor added that he wished he had been there and stated:

"He had just come out of the ICU after surgery. He opened his eyes, spoke to Sara for a bit, and asked for me. I was so happy; I said, 'I'm right here, Dad.' And then he said, 'If you were there, you would’ve beaten that guy up.' That made me weep. I wish I had been there. At one point, when I heard he got stabbed, I started to think of the worst-case scenario. That's a very scary feeling."
