AICWA tweet
"Comedian Kapil Sharma's cafe was attacked repeatedly. Now Tiger Shroff has been fired upon. One after another, people from the film industry are being targeted, and a deliberate atmosphere of fear is being created. The intent is plain: gangsters want to terrorise Bollywood personalities and extort money from them. Today it is Tiger Shroff. Who is next?," the association wrote.
It further questioned the safety of an ordinary Mumbaikar when a celebrity is not safe in the city. The association claimed that the government and police have failed to stop these attacks and protected people of Bollywood despite repeated incidents. "Gangsters have openly claimed responsibility in earlier cases, yet the network continues to operate. Statements are not enough. Bollywood needs real protection."
