In an apparent dig at actors Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani, after they were booked for allegedly violating Covid-19 protocols, the Mumbai Police on Thursday urged citizens via a tweet to not go ‘Malang’ on the streets and ‘avoid unnecessary Heropanti’.


“In the ongoing ‘War’ against the virus, going ‘Malang’ on the streets of Bandra cost dearly to two actors who have been booked under sections 188, 34 IPC by Bandra PStn . We request all Mumbaikars to avoid unnecessary ‘Heropanti’ which can compromise on safety against #COVID19,” Mumbai Police posted on Twitter.



This was a reference to Tiger’s films War and Heropanti and Disha’s Malang. The actors, however, were not directly named.

Twitterati had a field day on Mumbai Police’s post. Please keep an eye on them as they could turn out to be a Baghi,” said one. “Please show them “#Radhe” while they are with you,” quipped another.

People also lauded Mumbai Police for their wordplay, “If word play comes in Olympics, then Mumbai Police will bring gold every time,” posted a user.

Mumbai recorded 925 Covid-19 cases on Wednesday and 31 deaths.
