Wamiqa Gabbi has been a major subject of discussion on social media ever since the August 07 release of DC, her film with director Arun Matheswaran and actor Lokesh Kanagaraj. Her role as a sex worker who fights back against injustice won the hearts of the audience in south India. The internet had a field day with memes featuring her character wielding a gun, with netizens describing her as 'pookie' and 'cute' even in a violent role in a gangster film.

Meanwhile, AI-generated, 80s style images of Wamiqa Gabbi from DC have been doing the rounds on the internet. On Thursday, Wamiqa shared one such image and made a humorous comment, saying that she looks the same in the so-called retro makeover as her real self. The actor attributed the aforementioned to her being an "every era kind of girl." Even DC fans would agree with this assessment, as she features in the film with classic, period-inspired clothing.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, Sun Pictures, the film's production banner, announced that Kalanithi Maran has presented director Arun Matheswaran, actor Lokesh Kanagaraj and composer Anirudh with BMW cars for the film's commercial success. Ever since the announcement, there has been some outrage on social media, with netizens calling out the producer for not presenting Wamiqa with a car for her involvement in the film's success. They expressed their frustration with sarcastic comments, trolling the producer for their 'gender bias'.

DC brought Wamiqa Gabbi back to Tamil cinema after her role in the Ninaivo Oru Paravai chapter of 2023's Modern Love Chennai. The Tamil audience might not have to wait much long to see her favourite star on the big screen again, with her film Genie, also featuring Ravi Mohan, expected to release soon.
