Bollywood actor Salman Khan tackled the current death threats he received from the Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, saying that he has his confidence in fate and continues to work under intense security.
Addressing the media before the release of his next film SikandarKhan said, “God, Allah – It all depends on him. It is predetermined how long I will live.” He recognized the impact of constant security on his routine, adding: “Sometimes I must be escorted by so many security officials who cause a problem.”
Lawrence Bisnoi, currently imprisoned in Sabarmati prison, has publicly threatened the actor. In an alarming incident last year, his gang would have opened fire in front of the residence of Salman Khan. Navi Mumbai’s police later revealed a foiled plot to target Khan while he is on his way to his farm.
The threats continued in October when Khan received a warning through the WhatsApp assistance service from the traffic police requiring a ransom and referencing the head of the NCP, Siddic Zeeshan. The message warned against the consequences if the requests were not satisfied, referring to the murder of the Siddic father.
In November, another threat followed, this time by demanding 5 INR crore (around $ 6 million). The sender, claiming to be linked to Bishnoi, insisted that Khan apologizes for the 1997 BlackBuck poaching case or faces death. The incident remains a sensitive problem for the Bishnoi community, which holds the sacred blackbuck.
Following these threats, Salman Khan’s security was upgraded at the highest level. The actor now restricts his movements at his home, the galaxy apartments and the shooting places. “Now, it’s about Galaxy to shoot and shoot the galaxy, nothing else,” he shared. “When I am with the press, I’m not worried, but when I’m without a press, it cramps my style.”
Despite increased security and public threats, Khan goes forward with his work. SikandarDirected by Ar Murugadoss and Co-Avec Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal and Sharman Joshi, should be released on March 30 during the Aid vacation weekend.
