evidence: Amid this row, multiple social media users have shared an image claiming to show security personnel guarding a movie theater ahead of its release. A poster of the Pathaan movies can be seen in the viral photo. However, this image has been altered. [...] We found a similar photo, taken from a different angle, published in The Indian Express on January 26, 2018. The report stated that more than 20 paramilitary personnel and police officers were guarding the Delite Cinema in New Delhi ahead of Padmavaat's release. In both the viral image and the photo printed in the Express, the same 10 security personnel are standing outside the movie theater in the same order. The theater has the same rounded front exterior, the same entrance, and scaffolding can be seen on both sides of the building. A Padmavaat poster can be seen on the theater building in the original image, whereas the viral image carries a poster of Pathaan. A comparison between the photos shows that in the viral image, the Padmaavat poster was digitally replaced with a Pathaan poster. [...] An altered image of a theater screening the film Padmaavat in January 2018 is being shared to falsely claim that it shows security personnel guarding a film theater ahead of the release of Pathaan. The poster, originally that of Padmaavat, has been digitally edited. Therefore, we have marked this claim as false.
