On Thursday (April 26), the social media team of Mumbai Police posted message about keeping Mumbai safe featuring Vision aka Paul Bettany. With a witty wordplay, they wrote, “A vision that will live forever! #InfiniteSafety for Mumbai.”
But it wasn’t the text of the tweet that left the fans of the superhero franchise disappointed. It was the photo that accompanied the text, in which they wrote, “Some Vision May Or May Not Die. But Our Vision for Your Safety Shall Live Till Infinity.”
