5 things fans got wrong about GTA 6's trailer 2

Time of India05-06-2025
The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI dropped like a bomb on May 6, 2025, and fans wasted no time dissecting every blink, explosion, and palm tree. But in the frenzy of trailer breakdowns and Reddit theories, some got a little carried away.
Tired of too many ads? go ad free now
Here are five things fans misinterpreted in GTA 6's Trailer 2.
1. Jason Isn't Robbing Stores, He's Collecting Protection Money
When Jason smacks a cashier and grabs a wad of cash, many assumed he was pulling off a robbery. But that's not the full story.
Why Fans Got It Wrong:
Earlier in the trailer, local crime boss Brian tells Jason: 'Get those businesses in line.'
The scene isn't a stick-up; it's organized extortion, part of a protection racket.
This lines up with the broader theme of GTA 6: rising through criminal ranks, not petty theft.
Why Jason Isn't A Cop in GTA 6
2. Jason Could Not Be an Undercover Cop
A single line from a police officer:
'Us cops, we gotta protect each other',
launched wild theories that Jason is a fed.
Why Fans Got It Wrong:
Jason's official Rockstar bio confirms he's ex-military, not law enforcement.
That cop line? It likely hints at police corruption, not Jason's secret identity.
If anything, it sets the stage for the cops being another antagonistic force, not allies.
3. Lucia's Ankle Monitor Didn't Just Magically Disappear
Fans were quick to cry 'mistake!' when Lucia's ankle monitor, visible in early scenes, was missing later.
But this isn't a goof; it's storytelling.
Why Fans Got It Wrong:
The ankle monitor only disappears after Lucia is seen committing major crimes (bank heist, nightclub shootout).
That likely means it was removed, either as part of a plot deal or a forced escape.
Rockstar doesn't do continuity errors by accident. This is intentional plot progression.
4. The Motel Fire is Not Just Some Random Footage
The burning motel? Some fans brushed it off as visual filler. Big mistake.
Why Fans Got It Wrong:
That exact same motel appeared in Trailer 1, and we think it was Jason and Lucia's safehouse.
A cheeky sign reading 'In Case of Fire' inside the room? Classic Rockstar foreshadowing.
Most likely, the fire is deliberate arson, pushing our protagonists into full-blown fugitives.
Will GTA 6 Have A Third Protagonist?
5. A Third Playable Character Seems Unlikely
Some thought the police raid scenes meant a new, playable character—maybe even a cop. But that theory doesn't hold.
Why Fans Got It Wrong:
Rockstar's official site names only Jason & Lucia as protagonists.
The raid scenes are likely cutscenes or mission setups, not POV gameplay.
It makes more sense narratively for cops to chase the duo, not become the third wheel.
Fan theories? Always fun. But Rockstar is known for intentional, layered storytelling. What looks like a goof is often a setup. What seems random usually pays off later. Trailer 2 isn't just a visual tease—it's packed with plot, if you know where to look. Watch closely. Question everything. But maybe… don't overthink it
too
much.

Ba***ds of Bollywood: Aryan Khan's debut speech draws harsh trolls; but fans defend him, ‘stop the unnecessary hate'

Aryan Khan, son of Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, stepped into the spotlight with the launch of the preview of his directorial debut series, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. At the event, Aryan delivered his first-ever public speech, which fans found both heartfelt and staged. Aryan Khan's first speech Standing on stage for the first time, Aryan admitted he was extremely nervous. 'Bohot nervous hu kyunki pehli baar main aap sabke saamne stage par aaya hu. Aur isliye do din aur teen raaton se main ye speech baar baar lagataar practice kiye jaa raha hu,' he said. He went on to add, 'In fact, main itna nervous hu ki maine teleprompter pe bhi likha diya hai. Just in case yaha ki bijli chale jaaye, main kaagaz ke tukde pe bhi likhke laaya hu. Torch ke saath. Aur agar tab bhi mujhse mistake ho jaaye, to Papa hain na!' The audience broke into laughter when Shah Rukh Khan was spotted with a copy of Aryan's speech taped to his back, adding to the lighthearted moment. Aryan then sincerely told the crowd, 'Aur agar iss sab ke baad bhi mujhse galti ho jaaye, mujhe please maaf kardena. Ye mera first time hai.' VIDEO | Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's (@iamsrk) son Aryan, at the launch of his directorial debut web series Bads of Bollywood, says, "I am very nervous because I'm coming in front of you all for the first time. I'm so nervous that I even wrote everything on the teleprompter.… Fans react to Aryan's words Soon after the speech, clips from the event went viral and some observed that the debut director appeared nervous and still needed to polish his public-speaking skills. A section of social media was quick to criticize. A user shared a Reddit thread saying, 'Ye kya tha? Humble hone aur honest hone ki acting?!' One user commented, 'Why can't star kids speak Hindi anymore?' Another added, 'The whole thing was scripted but he looked nervous compared to others. Also, at points they overdid it, I feel.' Someone else commented, 'He needs more training.' On the other side, some commenters came forward in his support. One user defended him saying, 'Unnecessary hate. It was a skit and SRK had the script written for him. It's funny how people think he was lip-syncing. SRK was literally standing beside him. His voice is about 70% similar to SRK's but not so identical that you can't tell them apart.' Another wrote, 'Why do you guys have so much hate for everyone? Do you think only you're real and everyone else is fake? This was literally his first media interaction, of course he was nervous. Please grow up and stop searching for negativity in everything.' One more user defended him, saying, 'He is a director, he doesn't need stage-speaking skills. No one has ever judged other directors for their stage presence.' Thanking his mother and the team While thanking the cast and crew of the series, Aryan also expressed his gratitude to his mother, Gauri Khan. 'I want to thank all those people, without whom it would have been impossible to make this show, the entire team of Netflix, the entire team of Red Chillies, T-Series, and Bhushan Ji, my co-creator, Manav and Bilal, and of course my whole cast and crew,' Aryan said. He then added a personal note: 'Now, I would like to call my mother (Gauri Khan) on stage for producing this show and, most importantly, for producing me.' What's in The Ba***ds of Bollywood's preview The preview of the show opens with a voiceover introducing Lakshya as Aasman Singh in Mumbai, the city of dreams. The story follows his journey after delivering a hit film and falling in love with superstar Arjun Talvar's daughter, played by Sahher Bambba. The cast also features Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Vijayant Kohli, and Gautami Kapoor. Big names like Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, and Karan Johar also make appearances in the teaser.
