Meanwhile, ace sprinter Dutee Chand took to Twitter to express her displeasure over the manner the girls in the poster were depicted. “I personally do not like the poster and strongly condemned the concept. The poster is a sheer disrespect to the women fraternity. I request the production house to remove the poster forthwith,” tweeted Chand.
