However, things started to go south when a week before the wedding, they played a game with friends where everyone shared the worst thing they had ever done.

During the game, Zendaya’s character shocks everyone with a major confession.

The insiders, who claim to have seen the movie, told the outlet that Zendaya's character reveals that, as a teenager, she once planned a school shooting but backed out at the last moment.

And the unexpected twist left the viewers unsettled, the publisher reported, as the film is being promoted as a feel-good romantic movie.

A bunch of audience has raised concerns that the storyline is insensitive and an attempt to humanize school shooters. And showing in countries affected by such tragedies is inconsiderate.

Despite the controversy, some early viewers have praised the film, calling it “brilliant” and appreciating its bold twist.

"The Drama" is all set to hit theaters on April 3.
