The newly unveiled theatrical trailer has caused a range of reactions online, Tollywood Box Office Collection with some viewers sharing their unhappiness. In response to the backlash, he responded, "It hasn’t even been a year since Gaami debuted. In a unexpected turn, the actor will take on a female identity in this film, guided by Ram Narayan, and co-starring Akanksha Sharma as the female role. Observers have pointed out that Vishwak Sen's recent projects have failed to live up to the hype. Just because of one film, people are too quick to categorize all my work as formulaic." He elaborated, "We are positioning Laila as an entertainer. Gangs of Godavari had its own special appeal. I want viewers to enjoy themselves and laugh heartily, leaving their problems behind. This film is not meant to challenge the works of renowned directors like Mani Ratnam." Only Mechanic Rocky can be seen as a commercial project.
