In a long social media note, Karan Johar wrote, “No cardio needed! You will physically jump out of your seats right through the second half of this traumatising (in the best way possible) survival croc-edge-of-the-seater! Swimming pools will never be the same for me again…. NEVER!”

He continued, “And if you happen to have a partner this Valentine’s Day, take them to watch #tuyaamain and tell them to wear armour because you will clutch onto them in FEAR!!!! I am still stressed, and the film got over 30 minutes ago! I feel like a crocodile may appear even in the middle of Mumbai traffic and attack me (I am dramatic, I know, but this film has made me take an extra dose of my BP meds).”

The filmmaker also lauded Bejoy Nambiar and the lead cast as he added, “Kudos to @bejoynambiar for keeping the tension alive with solid craft and technical excellence…. @shanayakapoor02 so proud of your choices and for your assured, hugely convincing performance and playing Miss Vanity and Miss Insanity (when the going gets scary and relentless) to perfection! Love you! @gouravadarsh, you are JUST BRILLIANT as the Gully boy and as the traumatised victim of the croc attack! I felt every inch of your FEAR!!!”

“Badhai ho (Congratulations) @aanandlrai for backing and producing this cracker of a clutter breaker! @vinod.bhanushali congratulations! A MUST-WATCH IN THE CINEMAS!!!” concluded Karan Johar.
