New Delhi, Delhi, 23rd of July 2025 : In a unique crossover of entertainment and awareness, JioHotstar and Meta have partnered to educate audiences about the growing menace of “digital arrest” scams and how to stay safe. Leveraging the world of Special Ops 2.0, filled with deception and high-stakes investigations, the video showcases how scammers pose as law enforcement or government officials to trick people into sharing personal information or making payments under the threat of arrest. The awareness video features actor Kay Kay Menon reprising his iconic role as Himmat Singh – this time not chasing spies, but calling out scamsters.
The film opens on the set of Special Ops 2.0, where an assistant director receives a suspicious video call from someone posing as a police officer. The scammer threatens her with a “digital arrest,” a common tactic used to scare people into sharing personal information or making payments. Kay Kay Menon, who plays Himmat Singh in the series, steps in – calm, sharp, and completely in character. With his signature dry wit and unshakable intensity, he critiques the scammer’s poor dialogue delivery, offers acting tips, and even takes a ‘screenshot’ – leaving the fraudster speechless and forcing him to hang up. The video cleverly highlights WhatsApp’s built-in privacy and security tools – like block, report, and silence unknown callers – and urges viewers to stay alert, in control, and safe online.

Responding to scammers requires comprehensive cross-industry action and this collaboration highlights a shared commitment to empowering users with simple yet effective digital safety tips. The video is a reminder for people to use WhatsApp’s safety features like “Silence Unknown Callers” that helps automatically screen out spam, scams, and calls from unknown people and to block and report suspicious accounts to safeguard yourselves from scammers. Because sometimes, stopping a scam is just a tap away.
