A Twitter user called out the makers for not casting a Sikh person to play the role of a Sikh.
Binge-watched #Shoorveer last weekend on @DisneyPlusHS
wanted to know the exact reason why a Sikh actor wasn’t casted to play Sikh army personnel, or should have ask actor to actually grow a beard!— Laddi_tweet (@LADDItude) July 19, 2022

#Shoorveer : A half baked series with stunning action sequences & a predictable story line.
Despite the limited budget, makers does a fantastic job with visual effects & aerial fights at a scale never before seen on Indian Films/Series.

Though the storyline is not much appreciated by the critics, the series is binge-worthy for its action and aerial sequences.
