The Entertainment Journalists Guild of India demanded a public apology from both Kapoor and Ranaut after the actress allegedly misbehaved with journalists present at Tuesday's press conference. 

 "We, as a guild, have collectively decided to boycott Ms. Ranaut and not give her any media coverage," the delegation said in its letter to Kapoor, adding that the boycott will not affect the film or the rest of the cast.

The members said in the letter that Ranaut had lashed out at the journalist even before he could complete the question he was asking at the press conference to promote the film on the pretext that he was running a "smear campaign" against her.

He said he met the actor briefly for an interview and there were no personal messages.
