A couple of days ago, a Facebook post with a title, “FIFA World Cup postponed by 1 week because Race 3 hype has affected the sales of match tickets worldwide” was shared. It had a collage of two images, firstly of Salman Khan’s Race 3 poster and second that of a news cutout, which read – ‘FIFA World Cup Postponed By 1 Week Due To Immense Worldwide Hype Over Indian Film Race 3'. It bore an image of FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Interestingly, a quote, “I am dismayed and will not accept that my integrity is being doubted by certain areas of the media,” given during the time Gianni’s name was found in scandalous Panama Papers in 2016 is used and merged with fabricated quote, which reads: 'but it is due to some unavoidable contingencies in India that the management has decided to postpone the FIF A World Cup by 1 week to be very specific.'
