But fact-checks reveal that not all such claims are true. As per Grok, the video is not new and is not related to Dhurandhar 2. This seemed like an older Karachi Police operation likely happening in the Lyari area, originally shared by an influencer. More such clips date back to mid-2025 and show routine checks or local policing activity, and are not targeted searches linked to the film’s storytelling or an alleged spy fears.
