The clip quickly led to speculation about a possible disagreement or lack of respect from the film\u2019s team.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>However, Pandey has now addressed the chatter, making it clear that the situation was far from what it appeared online.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Setting the record straight, the actor dismissed all rumours of any awkwardness at the event.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>\u201cThere was nothing like being disrespected. I was launching the trailer with the team, I wanted to be there. I went to the stage with everyone, and was sitting in the front row before that. Whoever has shot this video may not have noticed that. <!-- -->When the announcement was made, I went up with everyone,&#8221; he told Hindustan Times.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>&#8216;The reason you see me walking off&#8230;&#8217;<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>According to Pandey, the now-viral moment has been taken out of context. He explained that his early exit was purely due to prior work commitments.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>\u201cThe problem was I was in great urgency, because my shoot for another project is going on. So, I came to attend this trailer launch in the middle of the shoot. In fact, I had told the production house for Ginny&#8230; that I will come with a little urgency. The reason you see me walking off is going to the other shoot, I was getting messages,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>&#8216;I have a fantastic role in GWS 2&#8217;<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Despite his packed schedule, Pandey emphasised that he made a conscious effort to attend the launch, underlining his commitment to the film.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>\u201cI have a fantastic role in GWS 2 and it\u2019s a good film. That\u2019s why I got permission from the other film\u2019s team. I am thankful to them for allowing it.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"wLCOS vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"ap_Bf\">\n<div class=\"ZM4zO\">\n<p><i class=\"bo2C4\"\/> <span>Watch<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <!-- -->Eid 2026 In Bollywood: SRK, Salman Khan, Sara Ali Khan Amid Dhurandhar 2 Storm, Salim Khan Back Home<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Viral clip takes on a life of its own<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The actor admitted that he was initially unaware of the online discourse and only discovered it later through social media reactions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>\u201cI didn\u2019t even know what happened, I saw later on social media.
