The video is neither from Hyderabad nor Telangana. The footage was originally shared by a YouTube channel named JJPD Producciones two weeks ago stating that it is a paranormal video created by them for entertainment purposes and all images shown are fictional.

The video triggered a meme fest online. A netizen wrote, “Gems of WhatsApp University.” Another user said “Most deserving for creative awards 2022 of WA University (sic).”

Rajamouli’s next movie. Wait. Telugu movie industry already did a mermaid movie like 20 years back with Shilpa Shetty as mermaid.
