Shilpa Shetty's Viral Tribute and Glowing Review
Demonstrating her fan moment, Shilpa Shetty recreated the popular hook step from the film's viral track, FA9LA by Bahraini rapper Flipperachi, and shared the video on her Instagram. Alongside the dance, she posted a detailed review, expressing how impressed she was with the movie.
