It is to be noted that there have been multiple incidents of people filming videos inside trains, causing problems for commuters.

In the past, there have been several instances when DMRC urged people not to film in trains using their social media handles.

This time, DMRC strictly prohibited filming inside trains. "Filming reels, dance videos or any other such activities that may cause inconvenience to the passengers is strictly prohibited inside the Delhi Metro," DMRC said in a press release.

"Travel, don't cause disturbance", DMRC tweeted repeating the same. DMRC said the same in Hindi "Delhi Metro mein passenger bane, pareshaani nahi, loosely translated as "be a passenger, not a problem."

The Delhi Metro has repeatedly issued such warnings, requesting that individuals desist from filming inside the trains since many passengers frequently complain about the disruption this causes. In such advisories, the metro corporations used memes to notify consumers of the rule. In one of the posts, DMRC used the Naatu Naatu song from RRR with the images of actors from the movie i.e., Ram Charan and Jr. NTR.
