The actor was behind the wheels of an Audi S5 which is a performance oriented sedan by the German manufacturer. The Mumbai Police tweeted tagging him for indulging in unsafe driving. However, the cops got played.
We agree with you @sonamakapoor ! Quite a ‘weirdo’ to try such stunts while driving and putting the lives of fellow drivers at risk too! We don’t quite approve of these even in ‘reel’ life. #NotDone pic.twitter.com/WWoDz16hKj

After Mumbai Police’s tweet, Sonam countered them in another tweet and said that the car which Dulquer seemed to be driving was actually being towed by a truck. ‘We weren’t driving we were rigged on a truck.. but I’m glad you guys are concerned.. I hope and I know you show the same interest in regular folk as well! Thanks for taking care! #Reelvsreal @dulQuer.
Dulquer also posted a video of the car they were in rigged on a truck and that they were just being driven around.

Meanwhile, Sonam Kapoor refering to other Mumbaikers as ‘regular folk’ had her massively trolled, implying that she was someone special. The Mumbai Police deleted the video and replied, ‘For us, No Mumbaikar is ‘regular’ they are all ‘special’! And we are equally concerned about them all. Glad to know your safety wasn’t ‘rigged’. @sonamakapoor.’

Dulquer also joined the conversation and described his side of the story, He wrote, ‘Would appreciate it if you had checked some facts before tweeting this. In fact @MumbaiPolice helped us with permissions and traffic management during the shoot and were present the whole time. In my next tweet attaching the video I was shooting. #notawierdo.’

Fans were quick to respond and take a dig at Mumbai Police. However, Sonam Kapoor asked everyone to let go of this issue say that the cops were just doing their job.
