The makers of Do Patti shared a clip from the trailer launch event of the film. The clip begins with Kanika revealing that the makers were exhausted trying to find Dhruv for the film. She added that 100 auditions later, Kriti decided to be part of the last ten auditions.

Kanika further said that for the last ten remaining auditions, Kriti herself went and auditioned with each of those ten candidates and did the scene over and over again. She added that half of the people got scared that Kriti herself was coming for auditions.

Actor Shaheer Sheikh added to the conversation and said, “Even actually I was a little scared. Jab maine dekha maine bola Kriti ji ke sath audition karna hai bata toh dete. (When I saw her I said that I should have been warned that I had to audition with Kriti herself).”

Kriti reacted to Shaheer’s remarks by saying, “Kriti ji! Life mein kabhi bola hai tumne kabhi (Have you ever called me Kriti ji).”
