Salman Khan Addresses Security Concerns
As Salman Khan gears up for the release of his upcoming film ‘Sikandar’, the actor has finally responded to the death threats he has been receiving from Lawrence Bishnoi. With the film set to hit theaters on Eid, March 30, Salman continues to actively promote it alongside Rashmika Mandanna, despite the ongoing security concerns.
Salman Khan Reacts to Death Threats
During a recent media interaction, Salman was asked whether the constant threats to his life worried him. Staying calm, he responded, “Bhagwan, Allah sab unpar hai. Jitni umar likhi hai, utni likhi hai. Bas yahi hai.”
- He acknowledged the situation but seemed unfazed, implying that destiny will take its course.
- Salman also mentioned that his only challenge is moving around with heavy security, as it impacts his day-to-day activities.
The Connection Between Lawrence Bishnoi and the Blackbuck Case
The Bishnoi community has held a long-standing grudge against Salman due to the blackbuck poaching case, which dates back to the filming of ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’.
- In 2018, during a court appearance in Jodhpur, Bishnoi openly stated, “We will kill Salman Khan. Everyone will know once we take action.”
- This tension escalated further in April 2024, when gunshots were fired at Salman’s house, heightening security concerns.
Salman Khan’s Eid Release: ‘Sikandar’
Despite these challenges, Salman remains focused on his work, with ‘Sikandar’ marking his return to the big screen for an Eid release.
- The film, directed by AR Murugadoss, is expected to be a major box office success.
- At the trailer launch, Salman confidently predicted that ‘Sikandar’ would cross ₹200 crore, stating, “Picture achi ho ya buri ho, par Eid, Diwali pe ₹100 crore toh paar ho hi jata hai… Ab ₹200 crore.”
Salman Addresses the Age Gap with Rashmika Mandanna
During the event, Salman also responded to the discussion about the age gap between him and co-star Rashmika Mandanna.
- Brushing off the criticism, he remarked, “Jab heroine ko problem nahi hai, heroine ke papa ko dikkat nahi hai, tumko kyun dikkat hai bhai?”
- He humorously added that he would continue working with younger co-stars, even in the future.
With ‘Sikandar’ nearing its release, Salman Khan remains undeterred by threats, focusing on his film while maintaining his characteristic charm and confidence.
