Claim: A picture of a police unit guarding a theatre screening Pathaan.
Fact-check: Digitally edited image shared as visuals of police guarding a theatre screening Pathaan movie - FACTLY
Verdict: in 2018, when the release of sanjay leela bansali's film padmavat received opposition from hindu right-wing groups, it was released amid tight security in some places. the viral photo uses one of the photos captured in front of a theatre screening padmavat movie and replaced it with the poster of pathaan. hence the claim made in the post is false.
