Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 12th Fail was the greatest success story of 2023. Based on the true story of IPS officer Manoj Kumar and IRS inspector Shraddha Joshi, the film broke records at the box office. Vikrant Massey and Medha Shankr play the lead roles. While 12th Fail continues to run in theatres, its OTT premiere took the film to different corners of the world. Those who missed watching it in cinema halls tuned into Disney+ Hotstar to witness the story of Manoj and Shraddha come alive. 

Netizens have been raving about 12th Fail on social media. Recently, a person, who watched the film on the OTT platform, noticed an interesting detail that was ignored by many. It was noted that Manoj and Shraddha featured in one of the key scenes in the film. They were seen seated in the background whereas the focus was on Vikrant, Medha and Anant Vijay Joshi. 

The person shared a picture of the scene and wrote on X, "did anyone notice in the background real Manoj and shradha in this scene What a detailing (sic)." Vikrant confirmed the same and reacted, "Haha!!! So I finally found someone who noticed this. True, it’s them. A small @VVCFilms tribute to them. Another trivia, it happened at the same place, which is Delhi Haat."
