Amul gave a shout out to the film, which is based on the Indian Space Research Organisation's successful mission to Mars. "Amul Topical: Bollywood hit on scientists of ISRO who contributed to Mars Orbiter Mission!," read the caption of the image that has a woman and man with ID cards around their necks and having bread with butter sliding on it. The image also has a rocket and 'Amul Mars Appeal' as well as Mission Makhan written on it.
Taapsee tweeted: "How cool! These are always very very special! Thank you Amul! P.S next time I will add that hair band to my look. #MissionMangal #MissionAccomplished #MissionMakhan."
