The platform emphasised that maintaining a controlled environment is critical to completing the project.

"We're working hard to create a protected bubble to make the best movie possible. Please help us protect the magic of Cousins until it's ready to be shared," it added.

I'm so grateful to Prime Video for continuing to support my vision for this story and for making it possible to share this final chapter with the fans," as quoted by Deadline.

Exactly! These fans need to chill. In India, we've seen how crowds can ruin shoots. Look at how our own film industry struggles with this. Good on Amazon for speaking up. Protect the 'magic of Cousins' indeed.

I love the show but honestly some fans cross boundaries. It's not just about privacy, it's about safety too. Hope people respect this request. Also, excited to see how Jenny Han wraps up Belly's story! ❤️

I get the appeal, but isn't this a bit extreme? Fans are what made the show popular. Instead of asking them to stay away, maybe provide official viewing spots or something. Just a thought. 🤔

As someone who has worked in film production, I support this 100%. Even one extra person on set can cause delays and cost thousands. Plus the safety aspect is huge. Let them cook!

This is exactly how it should be. In India, we often forget that actors are also humans who need space. Remember how Ranbir Kapoor got mobbed? Not cool. Let them shoot in peace, yaar! 🌸
