The shooting of Salman Khan’s upcoming film *Sikandar* is currently underway at a star hotel in the old city of Hyderabad, with tight security measures in place following fresh threats received by the actor. Police sources confirmed that Salman Khan, who is a ‘Y plus’ category security protectee, has been provided enhanced security due to ongoing threats from the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Reports indicate that Khan’s security detail includes both his private security team and additional protection from the government, ensuring the actor’s safety amidst concerns about his security. The police have refused to disclose further details about the security arrangements, citing confidentiality.
The heightened security comes after a recent death threat sent to Khan, which was reported by Mumbai police on Friday. According to officials, the threat message was sent via WhatsApp to the Mumbai traffic police helpline on Thursday night. The sender claimed to represent the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and demanded a ransom of Rs 5 crore from the actor. The threat also targeted the lyricist of the song “Main Sikandar Hoon,” a track featured in Khan’s *Sikandar*.

The Mumbai traffic police, upon receiving the threat, filed a complaint, prompting Worli police to launch an investigation into the matter. Authorities are now working to trace the origin of the threat and identify those responsible.
In addition to Salman Khan, *Sikandar* also stars Rashmika Mandanna, known for her role in the blockbuster *Pushpa: The Rise*. While the threat has caused considerable concern, the shoot of the film continues under tight supervision to ensure the safety of the cast and crew.
Salman Khan has been a target of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in the past, and these recent threats have only intensified the security measures around him. Khan’s involvement in several high-profile legal cases, including the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, has often made him the focus of controversial threats and attacks.
While the police continue their probe into the latest threats, Khan’s team has yet to comment on the situation publicly. Meanwhile, the actor’s ongoing security arrangements highlight the severity of the threat, as authorities work to ensure his safety while filming his latest project.
Fans of Khan continue to hope for the actor’s swift return to his regular activities, with the safety of the actor and his team being the primary concern at this stage.
