Following the firing incident of Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff on October 18, Bollywood has been on edge after it emerged that other celebrity houses were also looked at by the assailants. Celebrities had reportedly been issued an advisory by the Mumbai Police advising them to avoid crowded places. However, the Mumbai Police have stated that no such advisory was issued. A new report also reveals that there is no change in celebrity events being cancelled. However, the demand for security has certainly increased as actors are asking for double the number of bodyguards when they step out.

No security advisory for celebrities, says Mumbai Police

In a report by the Hindustan Times, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Joint Commissioner of Police (Law & Order) in Mumbai, refuted claims that a security advisory was sent out to celebrities. He stated, "This is not true and does not reflect facts."

An earlier report had alleged that the Mumbai Police had issued an advisory after a few celebrity homes had been surveilled and others had been said to have received threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The celebrities were reportedly asked to avoid unfamiliar crowds and avoid events with security risks and not take any crowd selfies.

The report states that actors have not reduced the number of events they attend. Talent management company owner Rakesh Upadhyay shared that celebrity managers are asking for the details of the events, including the number of guests and who will be attending. Most importantly, the demand for security has gone up. Upadhyay said, "From 3-4 bouncers we now arrange 6-7 for the celeb. Other than that there has been no major change."

Tiger Shroff's father Jackie continues to honour commitments

Earlier this week, at the trailer launch of Jackie Shroff's next film Kaali Kheti, the actor was asked about last month's firing incident and about Tiger's well-being. However, the veteran remained silent and refused to answer any questions about the case. Around 13 people have been arrested in the case so far; a police investigation is ongoing.

As for the Heropanti star, Tiger has also returned to work. He wrapped up the Pune schedule of his next film, Lag Jaa Gale, with Janhvi Kapoor. A hair and makeup artist, Sourav Roy, confirmed that the shoot had been completed. A report in Mid-Day stated that the location of the shoot was kept under wraps by the makers. Directed by Raj Mehta, the Dharma Productions film also stars Vidyut Jammwal and Lakshya.
