Salman Khan To Continue Sikandar Shoot With Beefed Up Security Amid Threats From Lawrence Bishnoi Gang

Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who had cancelled all his meetings and work commitments for a few days after the death of his close friend and Nationalist Congress Party leader Baba Siddique, will not halt the shoot of his upcoming film Sikandar. Several news reports have stated that the actor, who has received death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi gang, will shoot with beefed up security.

8-10 personnel have been added to his security and they come for recce before he arrives on sets.

A source informed the portal, “Abhi 1-2 din ka schedule aage peeche hua tha, but nothing major. Aage bhi suna hai ki schedule might get affected but not much. If shooting was earlier expected to finish by November or December, it will, at max, finish by January. But everyone’s safety is the priority right now.”

However, it is still not clear if the actor will shoot for the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 18. On October 12, soon after the news of Siddique’s death surfaced, Salman reportedly left the sets of the reality show and rushed to Lilavati Hopital where the politician was admitted.

Salman Khan’s security heightened

Meanwhile, the Maharashtra government recently heightened his security almost two years after it was upgraded to the Y+ category.

According to media reports, Y-plus security (four armed personnel) has been provided for Salman and a police escort vehicle will also travel alongside his car. A constable, who has been trained to use all weapons, will also accompany Salman.

In November 2022, after the actor received death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi gang, he was provided with Y+ security and now, following the murder of Siddique, it is said that Salman will be under the close watch of Mumbai Police.

Before receiving the Y+ security, the actor was provided with a regular police protection by the Mumbai Police. Reportedly, he had also issued a gun license after death threat to him and his father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan.

on

Mumbai, April 10: Actor Aadesh Chaudhary is all set to bring something fresh to the small screen with his upcoming show ‘The H Files.’

The show aims to present health-related facts through an engaging detective-style narrative — a concept rarely explored in Indian television. Set to premiere on Bottoms Up Studios’ YouTube channel, the show explores intriguing health-related mysteries through a captivating investigative format unlike anything seen before.

Speaking about the show, Aadesh shared, “In today’s time, maintaining good health has become crucial, and the concept of The H Files sounded very interesting. There’s a lot of misinformation on the internet, so my friend and producer Kunal who also owns Clink Communication and Bottoms Up Studios—and I came up with this idea to present it through The H Files, blending acting with meaningful information.”

Talking about his role in this health-focused show, the actor revealed that he is playing a detective who investigates different cases and shares that knowledge with people. “Nobody has ever presented health-related facts in a detective style before—so The H Files will be an unexpected and exciting watch.”

The ‘Sasural Simar Ka’ actor added, “Anything shown creatively, people enjoy. Audiences will love this. They need to be aware of their health and the things they’re missing. This won’t be your typical detective show. Today, people want both entertainment and useful information,” Aadesh says. “The H Files is my way of mixing both fun and facts. It’s like a mystery show where the real villain is lack of awareness, and the hero is health. So, get ready to uncover the truth.”

On a related note, “The H Files” is produced by Kunal Garud and co-produced by Dalljiet Kaur. New episodes will be released every Tuesday and Thursday, with the first episode premiering on April 10.

Speaking of Aadesh Chaudhary, he is well known for his performances in popular shows such as “Sasural Simar Ka,” “Yeh Dil Sun Raha Hai,” and “Laal Ishq.”

Karan Patel talks about failure of his film, why he won’t do ‘Bigg Boss’

Mumbai, April 8: Popular television actor Karan Patel, known for his work in shows such as Kasturi, and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, agreed that the timing of the release of his 2023 film Daaran Chhoo was not right, which contributed to the film’s failure at the box-office. He also revealed why he would not be able to participate in the controversial reality show Bigg Boss, hosted by Salman Khan.

Speaking on Bharti Singh and Harssh Limbachiyaa’s podcast about “Bigg Boss”, Karan said: “Bigg Boss is not meant for me. I won’t be able to do it. What happens is the contestant may be inside but the people outside get uncomfortable because how patient can one be in three months. You will never see me inside. If a person like Hiten Tejwani can get angry inside the house then think about it…. Even Salman Khan told him ‘that you are very sweet, this show is not made for you’.”

He added: “If Bigg Boss was Bigg Boss from four-five years ago and it was about them and their lives then the audiences would be interested to watch them. Now, they have brought commoners, celebrities, people from every walk of life … I don’t want to see my bhaji wala in the Bigg Boss house…. Also I can’t tolerate misbehaviour and bad talk towards women… And the show is working on this only.”

He then went on to talk about his film ‘Darran Chhoo’, which will be released in 2023. The movie is directed by Bharat Ratan and produced by his mother Minoo Patel and wife Ankita Bhargava Patel.

Karan,who starred in the film, said: “The timing for my film was wrong. We were new producers and when I released muy film Salaar released a week after that and then came Jawaan. It was also the Indian cinema week and all these things we didn’t pay attention to. So, we released the film at the very wrong time.

The day my film was released it was 50 years of Indian cinema and all the old classics were re-released that day. That is why my film didn’t work. Basically our timing was wrong.”

Talking about the booming Indian OTT space, he said, “I am not getting offers, be it good roles or bad roles. Now the OTT space has got spoiled due to too many people doing too many things on it.”

He went on to criticise the digital platform medium and said: “Most of the shows on OTT today have become soft porn for me. If there are no sleazy scenes or love-making scenes in it, it won’t be watched even if it’s not required in the story.”
