On Twitter, the Mumbai Police posted a video of an iconic scene from superstar Shah Rukh Khan's film 'Main Hoon Na'.
In the video, Khan is seen acing the backward bend just to protect himself from actor Satish Shah's spit in the scene.
"@iamsrk wouldn't need to do such stunts any longer - Mask Hai Na!" Mumbai Police tweeted along with the video.
The unique attempt of Mumbai Police to urge people to use masks to protect themselves from coronavirus was shared widely across the medium.
