Actor Emraan Hashmi, who appeared in a cameo role as an intimacy coach in the Netflix series The Badmashis of Bollywood, believes the show deserved a theatrical release. He suggested that the series, which marks Aryan Khan's directorial debut, could have earned between 600 and 700 crore rupees at the box office if released in cinemas. The actor praised the politically incorrect nature of the show and called it unlike anything viewers have seen before. Emraan also expressed his desire to work with Shah Rukh Khan in a film, mentioning that while he worked with him as a producer, a previous opportunity to act together did not materialize. His cameo scene in episode three, featuring Raghav Juyal's character singing his iconic song from Murder, went viral and received widespread attention from fans who missed his early 2000s lover boy image.
