The viral spread of the footage comes just days after director Siddharth Anand issued a formal request on social media asking fans to refrain from circulating unauthorised content.

"Please do not post or circulate any leaked multimedia from the sets of King," the director wrote, urging the audience to wait for the official assets to be revealed by the studio as intended.
