In an atmosphere charged with tension and heightened security, Bollywood megastar Salman Khan is set to honor his role as Chulbul Pandey in the much-anticipated film “Singham Again,” directed by Rohit Shetty. A close source to IANS has revealed that the shoot is scheduled to take place in a highly protected Mumbai suburban studio, the identity of which is being kept confidential due to security protocols. This development comes in the aftermath of the tragic assassination of political figure Baba Siddique.
The source indicated that Salman Khan is scheduled to commence his shoot at 4.00 P.M. today. The identity of the studio has been shielded from public knowledge to mitigate any risks to the actor’s safety. This decision follows advisories from the Mumbai Police and other governmental bodies, who recommended a halt in shooting activities due to the growing threat environment post the assassination of Baba Siddique.
The assassination, which took place on the night of October 12, saw NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique violently attacked by three armed men outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Mumbai’s Bandra area. This incident has not only heightened tension across the political landscape but has also cast a shadow over other prominent public figures, prompting increased security measures.
Despite the looming security concerns, Salman Khan has chosen to proceed with his commitment to filmmaker Rohit Shetty. To ensure the safety of the actor, an extensive security detail has been arranged, comprising over 120 security guards and 30 police officers overseeing the site.
