On 31 July, the trailer for upcoming Jahnvi Kapoor-starrer Gunjan Saxena was released by Netflix. The film will start streaming from 12 August. However, soon after the trailer dropped, netizens noticed that the trailer did not have the Dharma Productions logo or Karan Johar's name, despite being a Dharma Productions film. Many believed that this was intentional in order to keep Karan Johar and Dharma Productions name out of the film's marketing, in light of the recent 'nepotism' discourse. What they did not realise is that that's just Netflix's format for all trailers released by the streaming giant.
Here are some reactions that surfaced on Twitter:
