Mumbai, October 20, 2026: Security has reportedly been tightened around several Bollywood personalities, including Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and filmmaker Rohit Shetty, following the recent firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff’s vehicle in Mumbai’s Juhu area. The incident has renewed concerns about threats against prominent figures in the Hindi film industry.
The attack has heightened fears about the possible return of organised-crime threats targeting celebrities, prompting renewed attention to the personal security arrangements of actors and filmmakers.
Salman Khan’s Security Tightened
Security outside Salman Khan’s residence has reportedly been increased following the attack on Tiger Shroff.
Salman already has Y-plus security, alongside his private security arrangements, due to previous threats and incidents linked to criminal gangs.
Aamir Khan Also Under Heightened Security
Aamir Khan is among the Bollywood personalities whose security has come under renewed scrutiny following the Juhu shooting.
Media reports have previously highlighted threats allegedly linked to the Bishnoi network, adding to concerns about the safety of prominent film industry figures.
Rohit Shetty Remains Under Heavy Protection
Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has also faced heightened security concerns following a firing incident at his Juhu residence earlier this year.
Reports indicate that additional precautions have been taken around his professional activities and film sets, with access controls intended to protect cast and crew members.
Tiger Shroff Attack Triggers Fresh Alarm
The latest concerns follow the firing incident involving Tiger Shroff’s vehicle in Juhu, where three assailants reportedly opened fire.
Shroff escaped without reported gunshot injuries, although his driver and a bystander were reported to have sustained injuries in the incident.
Bollywood Fears Return of Underworld Threats
The shooting has caused anxiety across the Hindi film industry, with some industry members drawing comparisons with the underworld-linked threats and extortion cases that affected Bollywood during the 1990s.
Reports suggest that some celebrities are reviewing their private security arrangements and taking additional precautions regarding their public appearances.
Fresh Threats Intensify Security Concerns
The situation has drawn further attention following reports that gangster Anil Pandit claimed responsibility for the firing and allegedly issued additional threats, including a claim that “200 brothers” were ready in Mumbai.
The reported threat has also renewed concerns about Salman Khan’s safety. The authenticity and full context of the alleged threats remain matters for investigators to establish.
Police Probe Wider Criminal Network
Authorities are investigating whether the Tiger Shroff shooting is connected to a wider organised-crime network and whether the attackers received instructions or assistance from individuals outside Mumbai.
Police are examining possible links with networks associated with Lawrence Bishnoi. However, the full chain of responsibility and the extent of any wider involvement remain under investigation.
Cine Workers Body Seeks Full Security for Tiger Shroff
The All Indian Cine Workers Association has reportedly written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, demanding comprehensive security for Tiger Shroff and his family following the attack.
The association has also raised broader concerns about the safety of artists and other professionals working in the film industry.
Mumbai Police Monitoring Threat Situation
Mumbai Police are continuing to investigate the Tiger Shroff shooting and assess reported threats involving prominent actors and filmmakers.
The reported security measures reflect growing concern within the industry as investigators examine whether the incident is connected to a wider criminal network.
Film Industry on Alert
The shooting has once again brought celebrity security into focus in Mumbai.
With several prominent personalities having faced threats or security concerns in recent years, police authorities and private security teams remain under pressure to assess potential risks and take appropriate precautions while the investigation continues.
