The action was initiated after a complaint sent by the Indian Film and Television Directors Association (IFTDA). This complaint was lodged by Farhan Akhtar on 11 April 2026, after which the matter was sent to FWICE.

In a press release, FWICE had said that it has taken the complaint seriously and has decided to take action after reviewing the matter.
