The excitement around Ek Villain Returns has gripped not just the masses but Uttar Pradesh Police as well. The official Twitter handle of the department has issued a “be nobody's villaintine” warning.
The police department has said that the “only sequel to crime is prison.” It has also shared a collage of first-look posters featuring Disha Patani and John Abraham with the text “Ensuring No Villain Returns From Behind The Bar” written on it.
UP Police has also taken a cue from the hit number Galliyan Returns and added, “ “Dial 112 to make Teri Galliyan safer.” The soulful track is sung by Ankit Tiwari.
