Film Critic Asked TMMTMTTM Makers To Delay Release

Film critic Taran Adarsh revealed that before the release of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, he had 'requested' the makers to postpone the film.

Taran said, "5 days before the release, I called Dharma Productions' team and requested that they postpone the release. I told them, 'There's a strong Dhurandhar wave. You still have time. Even if you get the screens, you won't get the audience'. When I saw the film, I told Kartik Aaryan that he made a mistake by coming amid the Dhurandhar wave."

"I strongly feel that when a film unleashes a tsunami, it's best to shift to another date. There should be no ego at all," as quoted by Bollywood Hungama.
