Thapp actor Pavail Gulati in an interview called co-star Taapsee Pannu a 'coconut'. He said, "Taapsee is t intimidating on-screen, she is off-screen. Taapsee is a lovely person, she is a coconut. She is hard on outside, and so mellow on inside. One has to pierce through her to get to kw her malai side."

Reacting to this, director Anubhav Sinha sarcastically wrote, "Taapsee.. He called you a coconut. If I was you I would be VERY UPSET," and to this Taapsee wrote, "Sir aaj kal koi bhi kuch bhi bol raha hai mujhe toh yeh coconut toh phir bhi healthy cheez hai" [sic] [In translation: Sir, se days I'm being called so many things... so, coconut is still healthy']

Kangana's comment to Republic TV

Ranaut said, "What I want to convey through this interview is... for me, I have only to lose here... because I kw tomorrow y will get some 20 needy outsiders like Taapsee Pannu or Swara Bhasker who will get up and say, ‘Oh! Only Kangana has problems with nepotism. We love Karan Johar’. If you love Karan Johar, why are you both B-gre actresses? You are both better looking than Alia Bhatt and Ananya (Panday). You both are better actresses. Why don’t you get work? Your whole existence is proof of nepotism. What are you telling me about how happy you are with industry?”
