Someone'stole' the scenes from Khan's next film, according to the Free Press Journal. On Thursday, August 10, an FIR was filed at the Santacruz police station in Mumbai, alleging theft under the Information Technology Act.

According to the FIR, the stolen excerpts from Shah Rukh Khan's film were posted on social media. According to the FIR, the production company realised that certain Twitter users had exposed Jawan's video footage online. As per reports, five Twitter identities were found during an inquiry, via which the film's video snippets were leaked. Legal notifications were issued to them, however only one of the users acknowledged receipt of the notice.

Previously, Red Chillies filed commercial litigation in the Delhi High Court about the video leak and requested the social media site remove Jawan's leaked recordings.

According to the directors, the theft of video snippets harmed the film and violated the Copyright Act. The case has been filed under Indian Penal Code section 379 (stealing) and Information Technology Act section 43B (illegal data transmission). However, this is not the first time Jawan's footage have been released; portions from Atlee's directing were also leaked online on two previous occasions.
