The film premiered on the streaming giant on March 22 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. However, there is a scene in the extended version of the film that eclipsed everything else. The Internet was beyond delighted to see an extra Shah Rukh Khan scene and a few other additions in the extended version of the film on OTT and the many tweets reflect that. Take a look:

"Completely different experience watching again with deleted scenes....loving it Shah Rukh Khan, Yash Raj Films," another fan wrote.
"They really shouldn't have deleted this! From the entry, to Shah's swag to all the planning they do about attacking Jim's lab was necessary to the plot I feel. Anyway, I'm glad they added it to the OTT version," similar thoughts echoed in this tweet.
