Viral videos tied to Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Dhurandhar 2 falsely suggest a spy crackdown in Pakistan
March 24, 2026: Following the release of Aditya Dhar’s film Dhurandhar: The Revenge, several videos have gone viral on social media claiming that Pakistan has launched a large-scale operation to catch Indian spies. The posts suggest that authorities are trying to prevent a situation similar to the fictional character Hamza Ali Mazari, creating an impression of widespread panic after the film’s release.
However, a closer look at the viral clips tells a different story. In one such video, officials are seen waking a man sleeping outside a closed shop and verifying his identity before asking him to return to rest. Multiple similar videos are circulating online, all being linked to Dhurandhar 2. In reality, these clips are from older police operations conducted in different parts of Pakistan and have no connection to the film or any recent developments.
While the claims are misleading, the online reactions have added a humorous twist to the situation. Users have flooded comment sections with witty remarks, with some joking that India would send its agents only after the search ends, while others quipped that even police officials could be undercover agents. Despite the entertainment value, the incident highlights how quickly misinformation can spread in the wake of popular cultural releases.
