Indian television is investigated
Since this post went viral on social media very quickly and was shared linking it to the unofficial announcement of Pathan 2, we decided to investigate this claim. During this investigation, when we searched on Google, we found a post (@sidkannan) on social media platform X, which was published on July 1, 2021. In this post we also saw a watermark on the photo. Searching with that watermark also found some other photos, which were shared from the account with the same watermark (@SRKanatic). Among these images, we also saw one that went viral, which was first published on April 8, 2021 and only Pathan was written on it.
