An old video of football fans celebrating a win in a pub in England is viral with a false claim that it shows fans reacting to Shah Rukh Khan's new movie Jawan's trailer.
BOOM found that the original video is old from 2016, when Jawan had not released and also shows the football match playing on screen and not the Jawan trailer.
Shah Rukh Khan, Vijay Sethupathi-starrer film Jawan is currently in the race to break box-office records post its theatrical release on September 7 this year. As per reports, the action-thriller directed by Atlee has earned Rs 75 crore on its opening day and became the highest first day grossers in Bollywood's history. Several movie critics and cinegoers have said that Khan's recent blockbuster delivered a social message in the package of a massy film.
The video is being shared with a caption saying, "Yeh To Bas Trailer Hai, Picture Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Dost THEATERS GONNA HAVE BLAST ON 7TH SEPTEMBER".
