Fact Check Video: There is no movie titled ‘The Omicron Variant’, this poster is photoshopped

After India reported two cases of the Omicron variant, an apparent poster of a movie titled “The Omicron Variant” soon went viral on social media. However, India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that the viral poster was created by editing the poster of a 1974 film called “Phase IV”. Becky Cheatle, an Irish director and writer, had created the viral poster just for fun. There is no movie with the name “The Omicron Variant”.
