A video is going viral online to claim that it shows a positive public review of Bollywood actor Salman Khan's latest release, Sikandar.

(Archives of similar claims can be seen here and here.)

What's the truth?: This video dates back to 2014 and shows audience reacting to Salman Khan's movie Kick.

How did we find out the truth?: We noticed a woman complimenting Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez and her dance in the movie.

  • However, Sikandar stars actor Rashmika Mandanna opposite Khan.

  • Fernandez and Khan have worked together in Kick, Radhe (for only a song) and Race 3.

  • We also noticed a 'Bollywood Hungama' ticker in the video and performed a relevant keyword search using all the clues.

  • This search directed us to a video shared by Bollywood Hungama on 25 July 2014.

  • This video featured public’s reaction to the movie Kick and is unrelated to Sikandar

  • The clips seen in the viral video matches with the original video, however, statements mentioning the movie title 'Kick' were removed from the video.

Conclusion: An old video from 2014 showing public's reaction to Salman Khan's movie Kick is being falsely shared as a review for recently released movie, Sikandar.
