Is Sameer Wankhede's post a reply to Shah Rukh Khan's 'Before you touch my son, talk to his father,' line from Jawan?

Shah Rukh Khan's 'Before you touch my son, talk to his father,' line from Jawan turned a lot of heads and grabbed a lot of eyeballs due to the meta-ness of it. Users began tagging former NCB chief Sameer Wankhede and celebrated the hysteria the trailer created. Wankhede now shared a cryptic post and again, netizens feel it's a reply, a response to the very line Khan has said in his next film.

He tweeted- "I have licked the fire and danced in the ashes of every bridge I ever burned. I fear no hell from you. -Nicole Lyons A quote that always inspires me !"

It was October 2021, when Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan was taken into custody by the Narcotics Control Bureau after a drug raid at the Cordelia cruise ship. Almost two years later, Sameer Wankhede is facing corruption and bribery charges as it was reported he asked for Rs 25 crore extortion from the ‘Raees‘ star not to frame his son.
