Neil Nitin Mukesh took to Instagram on September 15 to share a video that shows 4 cats circling around a lone snake. Many in the comments identified the snake as a small cobra. In the shocking video that has gone viral, the cats circle the snake, which leads to one of the cats jabbing at the snake, probably trying to figure out what the object (snake) is. The shocking video of the cats attacking the snake was recorded when the actor arrived on the sets of his upcoming movie, ‘Bypass Road’.

As can be seen in the video, after the cat's jab, the snake looks as though it is set to take its revenge. The snake lifts its head and begins hissing at one of the cats in an apparent attempt either to strike back or scare the cat away. The cat stands it's ground unfazed. Luckily, the snake does not strike but rather fades into the bushes.
