&lt;script async src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia of "Shootout at Lokhandwala" fame, the film is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict between India and China.
In an earlier interview with PTI, the 59-year-old actor called the film "physically demanding".
"It is physically demanding. Every year, every month, every day it gets more and more difficult. I've to give more time now (for training). Earlier, I would do it (train) in one or two weeks, now I'm running, kicking, punching, and all that stuff. This film demands that," he said.
"For instance, in 'Sikandar' the action was different, the character was different. But this is physically difficult. Besides, shooting in Ladakh, in high altitude and in cold water (is another challenge)." Khan's "Sikandar" released in March and was directed by A R Murugadoss. Alongside Khan, the film featured Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Prateik Smita Patil, and Anjini Dhawan.
He is currently hosting the reality show "Bigg Boss 19", which premiered on August 24 on JioHotstar.&nbsp;

Prepping for an action movie is becoming increasingly more challenging with each passing year, month and day, says superstar Salman Khan, who terms his next feature one of the most "physically demanding" projects of his career.
Salman, who will turn 60 in December this year, is pouring his heart and soul into "Battle of Galwan" directed by Apoorva Lakhia of "Shootout at Lokhandwala" fame.
The much anticipated war drama is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict between India and China.
"It is physically demanding. Every year, every month, every day it gets more and more difficult. I've to give more time now (for training). Earlier, I would do it (train) in one or two weeks, now I'm running, kicking, punching, and all that stuff. This film demands that," Salman told PTI.
"For instance, in 'Sikandar' the action was different, the character was different. But this is physically difficult. Besides, shooting in Ladakh, in high altitude and in cold water (is another challenge)," he added.
The actor said the team will be heading to Ladakh later this month for a shooting schedule.
"When I was signing the film, I thought it's amazing but it's a very, very difficult film to do. I've 20 days (of work) in Ladakh and then seven to eight days (of shoot) in cold water. We will be shooting this month," he added.
According to the makers, the film is based on one of India&rsquo;s most brutal battles, fought at over 15,000 feet above sea level without a single bullet being fired.
Twenty Indian Army personnel laid down their lives in the Galwan valley clashes in June 2020 that marked the most serious military conflicts between India and China in decades.
"Battle of Galwan" will not have the traditional Eid release, a date often associated with Khan's films, but instead arrive in theatres in January, Salman said.
The actor also confirmed that a sequel to his 2015 movie "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" is in the works.
"I liked that movie (first of the film). It will kind of have the same theme and emotional beat. But it will be a different film," Salman said about the film, which completes 10 years on Thursday.
The Kabir Khan-directed movie was about a Lord Hanuman devotee who embarks on a mission to reunite a mute Pakistani girl with her family across the border.
The actor, a cycling and biking enthusiast, was speaking on the sidelines of a press event for season two of Indian Supercross Racing League (ISRL). He is the brand ambassador of ISRL.
"I've always been a rider, from cycles to motorbikes, I've loved them all. Though I don't get to ride as often now," the actor said but cautioned fans against racing on the roads.

Chitrangada Singh joins the Battle of Galwan cast

Chitrangada Singh officially joins Salman Khan in 'Battle Of Galwan,' a dramatic portrayal of the 2020 conflict. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film delves into the valor of soldiers in the famed Galwan Valley clash.

Chitrangada Singh teams up with Salman Khan in 'Battle Of Galwan,' directed by Apoorva Lakhia, highlighting the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict. The film focuses on India's bravery and resilience without using firearms.

Actor Chitrangada Singh on Thursday joined the cast of &ldquo;Battle Of Galwan&rdquo;, the upcoming war drama set to be headlined by superstar Salman Khan.
The movie, which is directed by Apoorva Lakhia of &ldquo;Shootout at Lokhandwala&rdquo; fame, is based on the 2020 Galwan valley conflict between armed personnel of India and China.
It will mark the maiden collaboration between Chitrangaada, known for movies such as "Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi", "Yeh Saali Zindagi" and "Desi Boyz", and Salman.
&ldquo;I've always wanted to work with Chitrangda since I watched her amazing performance in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and then Bob Biswas,&rdquo; Lakhia said in a statement.
&ldquo;We're thrilled to welcome Chitrangda Singh to the cast of Battle of Galwan. Chitrangda brings a rare blend of strength and sensitivity to the screen as her feminine side will match perfectly with Salman Sir&rsquo;s brooding but quiet strength.&rdquo; Salman had officially announced the movie last week in a post on his social media handles.
According to the makers, the film is based on one of India's most brutal battles fought without a single bullet being fired. It was fought over 15,000 feet above sea level, this battle stands as a testament to India&rsquo;s indomitable spirit.
Twenty Indian Army personnel laid down their lives in the Galwan valley clashes in June 2020 that marked the most serious military conflicts between India and China in decades.

Two individuals arrested for breaching security at Salman Khan's Bandra residence, highlighting significant security concerns.

Trespassers Arrested at the Residence of Salman Khan

Security breach at Salman Khan's residence led to the arrest of two people. Both incidents raise security concerns as intruders managed close proximity to the actor's home. Bandra police is investigating these incidents to ensure the actor's safety.

Two trespassers caught at Salman Khan's home

Two individuals were arrested for attempting to breach security at Salman Khan's residence, prompting security concerns.

Police have arrested a man and a woman for allegedly separately trespassing on actor Salman Khan&rsquo;s building in Mumbai's Bandra area over the past two days, an official said on Thursday.
Two FIRs have been registered in connection with the incidents that took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, said the official from Bandra police station.
The official said a man, identified as Jitendra Kumar Singh (23), on Tuesday allegedly entered Galaxy Apartments in Bandra (West), where the Bollywood actor lives.
Singh was first seen roaming around Khan&rsquo;s house in the morning. A policeman deployed there for the actor&rsquo;s security asked him to leave. In a fit of rage, Singh, who hails from Chhattisgarh, smashed his mobile phone on the ground, the official said.
&ldquo;That evening, Singh entered Galaxy Apartments in a car belonging to a person living in the same building. However, he was stopped by the police again. This time, they handed him over to the Bandra police,&rdquo; the official said.
During interrogation, Singh told the police he wanted to meet the actor. Singh claimed that he tried to sneak in as the police were not allowing him to enter the building, the official said.
It was immediately not clear how Singh got into the car of the resident of Galaxy Apartments.
In another such incident, a woman entered the building on Wednesday and even managed to reach up to Khan&rsquo;s flat, the official said.
Both Singh and the woman have been arrested. Cases of trespassing have been registered against them, the official added.

Salman Khan confronts challenges as his recent films falter. Observers note age and choices impact his stardom. Can nostalgia inspire his resurgence?

Bollywood Star Salman Khan's Career Challenges

Bollywood icon Salman Khan experiences a career phase with recent cinematic underperformance. Exploring age, decision-making, and nostalgic hopes for rejuvenation.

Bollywood's Salman Khan sees box-office slips. Observers discuss age, choices, and persona nuances. Can re-release nostalgia reignite his charm?

He is the indisputable king of Bollywood. His films are synonymous with humongous box office success and bringing sheer joy to the millions of fans across India and overseas. Even a few years back, residents of the Galaxy apartment in Bandra, Mumbai, were familiar with the sight of the spectacle of euphoric fans after the release of his movie. However, recently, even those vibrant celebrations seem to be hiding a deep sorrow since his &nbsp;recent films have repeatedly bombed at the box office!
Although the excitement among the fans hasn&rsquo;t diminished entirely, but, they seem to be somewhat conflicted. What has happened to their emperor? What has happened to their beloved 'Bhaijaan'? &nbsp;
The questions are simple, but the answers are elusive! His latest 'Eid release', 'Sikandar', has turned into a source of mockery across the social media platforms! The master is aged. But, can THE Salman Khan be aged? Industry insiders say age might be affecting Salman Khan's natural acting instincts. But, is this the only reason behind the recent failure of some of his expensive endeavors? Let us delve deeper into the current scenarios which have been revolving around the megastar!&nbsp;
According to some, Salman Khan should either quit or take a few months or years off before working with the right director and script once more to produce movies like 'Dabangg' or 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.
However, That's just a surface level explanation! It requires diligence ( which Salman Khan has always had ) as well as- especially for a massive star like him, who has been acting as a protagonist in Bollywood for over three decades- the strength to make the right decisions at the right time (about which even his biggest fans might have doubts) to cope with such situation. But, where is your gigantic enthusiasm, Mr. Khan? That clearly fell short in the recent movies!&nbsp;
Salman Khan appears to have transitioned from an actor to a hero to a megastar to the undisputed 'Bhaijaan', according to those who have followed him closely over the years. He probably feels that the portrayal of 'Bhaijaan' (On and off screen, in every true sense ) is far more significant than any other role he is playing! Some of his most recent films, 'Radhe', 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan', and 'Sikandar', demonstrate just how true this is!&nbsp;
One aspect of these films is that his character somehow makes an appearance in every scene. Even if he isn't present in a particular scene, the other characters seem to have compelled to maintain his presence through their gestures! The fact that the other actors seem to be competing with one another in every scene to win over 'Bhaijaan' is a more serious and dangerous worry, albeit!&nbsp;
Stars and megastars have always had an impact on mainstream Hindi cinema. Even though the main reason people go to the movies is to see their favorite celebrities, it is irrefutable that the star's importance frequently outbalances that of the character they play. But, the question remains. To what extent, though? To the stretch that the celebrity himself is unable to control his own image?
In December 2025, Salman Khan will celebrate his 60th birthday. Everyone is aware that aging will show on his face in films, and hardly any amount of technical skill can camouflage that. The fact that Salman Khan has never been hailed as one of Bollywood's best actors may also be easy to accept.
But despite all of this, he has an unquestionably huge on-screen persona and a special way of enthralling audiences with his dancing&nbsp; ( remember his unorthodox moves in "Munni Badnam Hui"!) or dialogues (&ldquo;Mujhpe ek ehsaan karna, mujhpe koi ehsaan mat karna" or "Mere Baare Me Itna Mat Sochna&hellip; Dil Me Aata Hun Samajh Me Nahi&rdquo; or &ldquo;Hum tum mein itne ched karenge ki confuse ho jaoge ki saans kahan se le aur p**in kahan se.")- that personifies his effortless charisma- leading even his most eager critics to applaud!
Are those days really over? The fans' favourite 'Bhaijaan' and Bollywood's cherished 'Prem' seem to have become only a shadow of his former selves. Is he able to return? Salman Khan's past inspires hope that he will return! But without a fundamental shift (as much as possible for 'Bhaijaan'! At least if he understands that things can't go on like this, &nbsp;that something has to change and that what is happening cannot continue, then there&rsquo;s a chance!) his battle will be extremely difficult in the absence of strong scripts and direction. It will be interesting to see how well he manages to overcome these challenges despite having some real turbulances in his personal life, too. &nbsp;
The good news is that the movie 'Andaz Apna Apna', which was first released thirty years ago, will be re-released on April 25. Salman Khan and Aamir Khan's comedy classic has already earned the title of 'cult film.'
Given that thirty years ago Salman Khan wasn't 'Bhaijaan' and lacked that swagger, I am not sure how much the current bunch of fans of 'Bhaijaan' will enjoy watching the modest Salman Khan dance to "Yeh Raat Aur Ye Doori" with those hopeful, dreamy eyes from the 1990s. Yet, it's safe to say that many people who long for that era will become a little more nostalgic and fall in love with the lead character in 'Maine Pyar Kiya' after seeing 'Andaz Apna Apna' on the big screen once again.

On April 14, two men on a motorcycle fired four shots at Salman Khan&rsquo;s residence before fleeing. Salman has informed the police that he believes gangster Lawrence Bishnoi orchestrated the attack, with the aim of harming him and his family. The longstanding feud between Salman and Bishnoi dates back to the 1998 Blackbuck poaching case, in which the actor was convicted. The Bishnoi community holds Blackbucks sacred, and Lawrence Bishnoi has made repeated threats against Salman over the years. The April 14 shooting marked a significant escalation in their ongoing rivalry.
The situation took another dangerous turn in October when former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, a close associate of Salman Khan, was murdered in Mumbai. The key accused in the murder is Lawrence Bishnoi&rsquo;s brother, Anmol, who was arrested in the United States. The Mumbai Police chargesheet revealed that Siddique&rsquo;s close ties with Salman Khan were a primary motive behind his assassination.

The film industry anticipates a strong 2025 with major releases like Salman Khan’s “Sikandar” and sequels such as “War 2” and “Housefull 5,” aiming to boost box office collections after a weaker 2024.

2025 Bollywood Movie Lineup: Major Releases, Sequels, and Box Office Expectations

Trade expert Girish Wankhede said Salman Khan&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sikandar&rdquo; might set the tone for an eventful year, which will also see Aamir Khan&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sitaare Zameen Par&rdquo; arriving in theatres by mid-2025.

As the curtain closes on a relatively underwhelming 2024, trade experts and film exhibitors are pinning hopes on Salman Khan&rsquo;s highly anticipated film &ldquo;Sikandar,&rdquo; and a plethora of franchise offerings like &ldquo;War 2&rdquo;, &ldquo;Raid 2&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Housefull 5&rdquo;, which they believe will reignite audience interest at the box office.
The film landscape for 2025 is loaded with diverse content but expectations are high from Salman&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sikandar&rdquo;, which is set to release on the occasion of Eid in March.
Among the films heading into theatres are Kangana Ranaut's political drama &ldquo;Emergency&rdquo;, Akshay Kumar&rsquo;s war film &ldquo;Sky Force&rdquo;, Shahid Kapoor&rsquo;s action-packed thriller &ldquo;Deva&rdquo; and Vicky Kaushal-starrer historical drama &ldquo;Chhaava,&rdquo; which chronicles the life of Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
The second half of 2025 has a remarkable lineup of films like the sequel to popular titles such as &ldquo;Jolly LLB 3&rdquo;, &ldquo;Raid 2&rdquo;, &ldquo;Housefull 5&rdquo;, &ldquo;War 2&rdquo;, &ldquo;Baaghi 4&rdquo;, &ldquo;De De Pyaar De&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Son of Sardaar 2&rdquo;.
In addition to this, there are other releases such as Varun Dhawan&rsquo;s romantic-comedy movie with father David Dhawan, Shahid Kapoor&rsquo;s actioner which is helmed by Vishal Bhardwaj, a horror-thriller featuring Kajol, &ldquo;Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling!&rdquo; starring Jaya Bachchan, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Wamiqa Gabbi and Swanand Kirkire, &ldquo;Alpha&rdquo;, Yash Raj Films' next Spy Universe movie starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, and Aamir&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sitaare Zameen Par&rdquo;.
Distributor-exhibitor Akshay Rathi, who owns theatres in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh, said movies such as &ldquo;Sikandar&rdquo;, &ldquo;Sky Force&rdquo;, &ldquo;Chhaava&rdquo;, &ldquo;Raid 2&rdquo;, &ldquo;De De Pyaar De 2&rdquo;, &ldquo;Housefull 5&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Alpha&rdquo; have the potential to break box office records.
"If you compare the releases with 2024, which has been held together by two films &ndash; &lsquo;Pushpa 2&rsquo; and &lsquo;Stree 2&rsquo;, there were other movies like &lsquo;Singham Again&rsquo;, and &lsquo;Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3&rsquo; that did well.
"We need one blockbuster a month to sustain the exhibition infrastructure. We cannot rely on three to four blockbusters. We need that to happen with a lot more consistency. A higher number of films have the potential to become mega-blockbusters in 2025,&rdquo; Rathi told PTI.
In 2024 &ldquo;Stree 2&rdquo; was the biggest and only hit of the year earning over Rs 500 crores, besides a handful of other releases such as &ldquo;Shaitaan&rdquo;, &ldquo;Article 370&rdquo;, &ldquo;Laapataa Ladies&rdquo;, &ldquo;Munjya&rdquo;, &ldquo;Singham Again&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3&rdquo; did decent business.
According to Nitin Datar, President of the Cinema Owners and Exhibitors Association of India, and Amit Sharma, MD of Miraj Entertainment Limited, the 2025 lineup looks promising.
"It's tough to guess now which film will do well because publicity has not started. However, 2025 looks good and I&rsquo;m looking forward to the release of &lsquo;Sikandar&rsquo;, &lsquo;Housefull 5&rsquo;, &lsquo;Jolly LLB 3&rsquo;, &lsquo;Emergency&rsquo;, and &lsquo;Chhaava&rsquo;. The rest of the films will be slow starters but may pick up,&rdquo; Datar told PTI.
"In terms of box office collection 2024 was the worst year, things look brighter compared to last year as there are films like &lsquo;War 2&rsquo;, &lsquo;Jolly LLB 3&rsquo;, &lsquo;Housefull 5&rsquo;, &lsquo;Son of Sardaar 2&rsquo;, &lsquo;Raid 2&rsquo;, &lsquo;Jaat&rsquo;, &lsquo;Sky Force&rsquo;, &lsquo;Sikandar&rsquo;. Overall Hindi films in 2025 should do a 15 to 20 percent better collection than in 2024,&rdquo; Sharma told PTI.
Taran Adarsh said there's an &ldquo;overdose&rdquo; of franchise films. He acknowledged the risk of audience fatigue but is hopeful that each film will attain commercial success.
"It&rsquo;s going to be a strong 2025, there&rsquo;s a good line-up of movies. There&rsquo;s going to be an overdose of franchises and sequels. Let&rsquo;s place our bets on every film that comes in,&rdquo; Adarsh told PTI.
Trade expert Girish Wankhede said Salman Khan&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sikandar&rdquo; might set the tone for an eventful year, which will also see Aamir Khan&rsquo;s &ldquo;Sitaare Zameen Par&rdquo; arriving in theatres by mid-2025.
"In addition to these star-studded releases, the upcoming year will witness a plethora of sequels and prequels, both from the South Indian film industry and Bollywood. Each film is expected to feature stellar casts and possess immense potential to captivate audiences,&rdquo; Wankhede told PTI.
Adarsh underscored the importance of quality content and urged the Hindi film industry to move away from remakes of South Indian films.
"In the coming days, we will see more quality projects and that&rsquo;s because we&rsquo;ve learnt an important lesson that we need to concentrate on content, and need to stop making remakes because they are not working.
"With everything being available on digital medium, people have seen it and people are not interested in seeing the new version, we&rsquo;ve seen this in the case of &lsquo;Baby John&rsquo; or &lsquo;Sarfira&rsquo;. We need to implement the lessons learnt.&rdquo;

A 20-year-old has been arrested for allegedly threatening Salman Khan and Zeeshan Siddiqui. The youth will be taken to Mumbai for further investigation. 

Salman Khan death threat case: 20-year-old arrested from Noida 

A 20-year-old has been arrested for allegedly threatening Salman Khan and Zeeshan Siddiqui. The youth will be taken to Mumbai for further investigation.&nbsp;

Mumbai Police have arrested a 20-year-old youth from Noida for allegedly making threat calls to Salman Khan and Baba Siddiqui&rsquo;s son, Zeeshan Siddiqui. The caller has been identified as Mohammad Tayyab alias Gurfan. According to reports, Zeeshan and Salman received the threat calls on October 25, following which a case was registered based on a complaint by Siddiqui&rsquo;s office. The accused made a demand of a ransom from the Bollywood star and NCP MLA. &nbsp;&nbsp;
The accused was arrested from Noida Sector 39 on Tuesday morning. The Mumbai Police would be bringing the youth to the city on a transit remand for further investigation.&nbsp;
On October 12, Baba Siddiqui, a close friend of Salman Khan and the former minister of Maharashtra, was shot dead allegedly by the members of Lawrence Bishnoi gang. 15 people have been arrested in connection with the murder so far.&nbsp;
Earlier, Mumbai Police arrested a vegetable seller from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand for sending a threat letter to Salman Khan in the name of Lawrence Bishnoi and demanding a ransom of Rs 5 crore. &nbsp;
The Bollywood star has been receiving multiple death threats from the Bishnoi gang. In April, shots were fired outside his Bandra residence after which the authorities increased his security. However, Salman continues to fulfill his professional commitments despite the continuous threats. &nbsp;

Did Salman Khan Give a Blank Cheque to Bishnois After the Blackbuck Killing? 

<h2>In a recent NDTV interview, Ramesh claimed that Salman approached community leaders with an empty chequebook, asking them to fill in any amount they saw fit. &ldquo;If we were after money, we would have accepted it,&rdquo; he stated.</h2>

The saga between gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and superstar Salman Khan keeps getting murkier by the day!
Recently, Bishnoi issued yet another threat to Salman, building on a history of previous warnings. This conflict dates back to Salman's alleged role in the 1998 blackbuck killing, a significant issue as the animal holds sacred status in the Bishnoi community.
While Salman has consistently denied these allegations, Lawrence's cousin has now revealed that the actor reportedly attempted to resolve the situation years ago with a 'blank cheque.'
In a recent NDTV interview, Ramesh Bishnoi, cousin of the incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, discussed the ongoing feud between his cousin and the actor, claiming that following the backlash over the blackbuck poaching case, Salman offered financial compensation to the Bishnoi community. He stated that Salman came with an empty chequebook, asking community leaders to fill in whatever amount they deemed appropriate to resolve the issue.
&lsquo;If we were after money, we would have accepted it,&rsquo; Ramesh emphasized.
Responding to Salim Khan's allegation that Lawrence was targeting Salman for monetary gain, Ramesh clarified that the feud was rooted in ideology, not financial motives. He expressed the intense emotions of the Bishnoi community during that time, saying, &lsquo;Hamara khoon khol raha tha uss waqt&rsquo; (Our blood was boiling at that time). Ramesh also pointed out that Lawrence owned 110 acres of land in India and was financially stable enough not to resort to extortion.
The blackbuck poaching incident occurred in Jodhpur in 1998 while Salman was filming Hum Saath Saath Hain, alongside Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, and Neelam Kothari. The case has lingered for 25 years, and while Salman has been convicted, he is currently out on bail.
The Bishnoi community continues to demand an apology, but Salim Khan has stated that Salman will not apologize, as that would imply guilt.

Actor Salman Khan has recently opened up about the emotional turmoil he&rsquo;s facing during the latest episode of Bigg Boss. This comes after he allegedly received threats to his life from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, especially following the tragic murder of his close friend, politician Baba Siddique, in Mumbai. The film industry has shown its solidarity with Salman, with many coming forward to support him. Recently, singer Mika Singh joined this chorus of support, dedicating a song to Salman during a live performance.
Mika addressed Salman while performing, saying, &ldquo;Bhai hu main bhai, tu fikar na kar. Uski m** ki, uski b**n ki, jo dekhe idhar.'&nbsp;
<h3>Firing at Salman's House</h3>
The situation escalated earlier this year when bullets were fired at Salman Khan's residence. The Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for both the shooting and Siddique&rsquo;s murder, leading to heightened security measures for the actor. Following the increased threats, Salman&rsquo;s safety protocols have been intensified. For his recent Bigg Boss 18 shoot, strict restrictions were enforced: the crew could not leave the premises until filming concluded, new personnel were barred from entering, and Aadhaar Card verification became mandatory. Additionally, Salman was kept within a confined area, protected by over 60 security guards at all times.
<h3>On the work front</h3>
Salman&rsquo;s upcoming film Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss, is set to release around Eid 2025. The action-packed film will feature Rashmika Mandanna as Salman&rsquo;s leading lady, along with notable actors such as Prateik Babbar, Suniel Shetty, Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, and Sharman Joshi.

Salman has faced death threats for months, prompting increased security measures, especially after Siddiqui’s assassination on October 12.

Salman Khan's ₹5 crore ultimatum: Pay up or face Bishnoi's wrath! Mumbai Police are on alert!

<h2>Salman has faced death threats for months, prompting increased security measures, especially after Siddiqui&rsquo;s assassination on October 12.</h2>

Mumbai Traffic Police received a bizarre WhatsApp message demanding ₹5 crore from Salman Khan, threatening that his fate would be worse than that of recently murdered NCP leader Baba Siddiqui if he didn&rsquo;t pay up.
However, police later dismissed the message as a mere &lsquo;prank.&rsquo;
According to the Mumbai Police, the sender warned, &lsquo;Don&rsquo;t take this lightly. If Salman Khan wants to stay alive and end his feud with Lawrence Bishnoi, he must pay ₹5 crore.&rsquo; They added, &lsquo;If the money isn&rsquo;t given, Salman Khan&rsquo;s situation will be worse than Baba Siddiqui&rsquo;s.&rsquo;
An investigation into the matter has been initiated.
The Mumbai Police are on the hunt for the sender of a threatening WhatsApp message aimed at Salman Khan. The Bollywood superstar has been under fire with death threats for months now, prompting an increase in his security&mdash;especially after the shocking assassination of former NCP leader Baba Siddique.
Siddique was brutally shot on October 12 by three assailants, with four arrests made so far while others remain on the run. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang's involvement in Siddique's murder is currently being investigated.
Earlier this April, things got really intense when two guys on a bike fired shots outside Salman&rsquo;s Bandra home. The police believe these shooters were linked to Bishnoi&rsquo;s gang, who had allegedly plotted to eliminate the actor. It seems the Bishnoi gang has been scheming an even bigger attack on Salman, raising serious concerns for his safety!
Salman Khan, often referred to as "Bhai" by his fans, is one of Bollywood's biggest stars, known for his charismatic screen presence and a career spanning over three decades. His career hasn't been without controversy. He has faced legal issues, including a hit-and-run case and hunting charges related to endangered species. These incidents have often sparked debates in the media.
Beyond acting, Salman is known for his philanthropic work. He founded the NGO Being Human, which supports various charitable causes, including education and healthcare for underprivileged children.
The actor will next be seen in &lsquo;Sikandar&rsquo;.

Ram Gopal Varma claims Lawrence Bishnoi outshines any film star! Fans shout, ‘Cast Salman in biopic'

<h2>Fans flooded the comments with quirky takes, one quipping, &lsquo;Casting Salman Khan as Lawrence would be the biggest irony!&rsquo; while another joked about RGV&rsquo;s crush.&nbsp;</h2>

Ram Gopal Varma's fascination with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi continued into the late hours of October 15.&nbsp;
The filmmaker, who has been contemplating a biopic on Bishnoi, boldly stated that he doesn't know any film star who can match the gangster's good looks.
Ram Gopal Varma posted a photo of Lawrence in an orange t-shirt and a black-and-orange hoodie, captioning it on his X account, &lsquo;If a film is about the BIGGEST GANGSTER, no filmmaker would cast someone who resembles DAWOOD IBRAHIM or CHOTA RAJAN. But honestly, I don&rsquo;t know any FILM STAR who is more GOOD LOOKING than B.&rsquo;
X users flocked to the comment section of his post with some intriguing replies. One user quipped, &lsquo;Casting Salman Khan as Lawrence would be the biggest irony! (smile emoji).&rsquo; Another chimed in, &lsquo;RGV&rsquo;s newfound crush! (laughing with tears emoji).&rsquo;&nbsp;
A third commenter noted, &lsquo;Great point! It&rsquo;s like Hollywood casting supermodels as gritty detectives&mdash;rarely a realistic match. If Bishnoi&rsquo;s life hits the big screen, they&rsquo;ll likely choose someone much more glamorous, making it a true &lsquo;Bollywood&rsquo; version.&rsquo;&nbsp;
Meanwhile, a fourth commenter added, &lsquo;Let him play his own role. I hope you direct his biography!&rsquo;
Lawrence's feud with Salman dates back to the infamous 1998 blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan. He has publicly threatened Salman and his supporters and is allegedly linked to the murder of the actor's close aide, NCP leader Baba Siddique.
Baba Siddique, a prominent Indian politician and close aide of actor Salman Khan, was reportedly killed on February 23, 2022. Siddique, a member of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), was shot dead outside his residence in Mumbai.
Siddique had been linked to Salman Khan's circle, which heightened suspicions regarding the motive behind the killing.
Following the murder, law enforcement agencies increased security measures for Salman Khan and other individuals associated with him due to the threats posed by Bishnoi and his gang. The case is still under investigation, with authorities working to apprehend those responsible for the crime.
On the work front, Salman is currently busy filming for Bigg Boss 18 and Sikandar. Meanwhile, Ram Gopal Varma recently directed the Telugu film Vyooham.
