The video was an obvious re-creation of a scene from Farzi, the Amazon Prime series starring Shahid Kapoor that explores the dark world of fake currency printing.

In that particular scene, Kapoor's character, being chased by investigators, throws out fake notes from a car, leading to frenzy on the road.

"This is sasti copy (rip-off) of Farzi webseries scene," one Twitter user commented.

"Lots of effort to make reel viral," another said.
