Salman Khan continues to shoot, even after getting a fresh threat. Currently, he is in Hyderabad, filming for Sikandar, his next movie, along with a strict four-tier security setup. To protect the actor, the film’s producers have stepped up safety precautions.
As per Midday, a insider revealed, “a portion of the Falaknuma Palace Hotel in Hyderabad has been blocked off for the shoot; only the film crew is allowed inside. The royal hotel is the primary venue for the three standing sets, two of which are located in the city. The production crew has gained access to the entire hotel and grounds, turning it into a fortress, even though they are only filming in a single area.”
“Although visitors can reserve a room at the hotel, they must pass two screenings: one by the hotel and another by Salman’s security personnel. Only individuals with previous authorisation, after completing background and identity checks, are permitted entry to the site. Additionally, the employees are screened every day,” the insider adds.
Salman reportedly has government-approved protection, including police officers and NSG commandos. The insider also claims that Salman has a four-tiered security system. This includes the hired private security detail, which is made up of former paramilitary members.
Then there is the group that Salman’s long-time bodyguard Shera personally selected, as well as the cover that the Hyderabad and Mumbai police have provided. “A total of 50 to 70 members of security personnel accompany the superstar,” the source continued.
Late Thursday night, Salman Khan received a new threat message from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, raising new security issues. According to reports, the letter, which was delivered to the Mumbai Traffic Control Room at approximately midnight, threatened to punish a songwriter severely for a song that connected the star to the incarcerated criminal.
In the last several weeks, the actor has received five threats. Salman has been the target of several threats in recent months, which has led to increased security around him. As they attempt to protect Salman Khan and look into the origin and motivation of the message, the Mumbai Police are taking the situation seriously.
A threat note against Salman Khan was sent to the Mumbai Police earlier on November 5th by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The actor was given two choices in the threat message: either apologise or pay ₹5 crore to remain alive.
