Bollywood actor Salman Khan has addressed firming up his security detail following death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Interacting with the press ahead of his film Sikandar, Salman said, “Bhagwan, Allah everything is upto him. I will live as long as I am destined to live. Just that, sometimes, I have to move with two people with me. That becomes a problem.”
The actor said his movement has been severely restricted in recent months. “I cannot do anything about it (security). Khallas. So I go from Galaxy (home) to shoot to Galaxy, no detours.” The 59-year-old could earlier be seen cycling around the city unhindered by his security team.
In April last year, two unidentified persons on a motorbike opened fire outside Khan’s Bandra residence in Mumbai. Then, in October, Baba Siddiqui, a prominent Mumbai politician with close ties to Salman and other Bollywood stars, was gunned down outside his home. Mumbai Police said at the time that jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s younger brother, Anmol, was allegedly behind the murder. Salman has been received death threats from Bishnoi network for his involvement in the 1998 black buck poaching and hunting case.
Salman is returning to the big screen with Sikandar, a massy action entertainer directed by A.R. Murugadoss. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna. It is set to release in theatres on March 30.
