The reported advisory asks film personalities to limit public appearances
Mumbai Police have reportedly advised Bollywood actors to avoid crowded public places and large gatherings following the shooting incident involving Tiger Shroff.
The reported advisory asks film personalities to limit public appearances and avoid mingling with fans in crowded settings.
The move is described as a precaution amid renewed concerns about celebrities’ safety in Mumbai.
However, reports about the advisory have been disputed.
Mumbai Police Joint Commissioner Manoj Sharma reportedly rejected claims that a fresh security warning had been issued, saying the information was not true and urging outlets to verify their reports.
The reports followed an attack on Tiger Shroff on October 18, 2026.
Three men allegedly opened fire at the actor’s car as he left a football ground in the Juhu area of Mumbai.
Shroff was reportedly injured in the incident, while his driver and a passer-by also sustained injuries. The actor is understood to have escaped serious harm.
Police arrested three suspected shooters within days of the incident, while eight other people were subsequently detained over their alleged involvement in the conspiracy.
Investigators are examining whether the attack was connected to an organised criminal gang previously associated with threats and attacks targeting Bollywood personalities.
The investigation has also raised concerns about the security of other well-known actors. Reports have suggested that suspects may have carried out reconnaissance near the homes of several film stars before the shooting.
Names mentioned in reports include Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar. However, the investigation’s findings and the alleged roles of those involved remain subject to police inquiry.
Security arrangements around Bollywood celebrities have reportedly been reviewed since the incident, with private protection teams also reassessing how stars are safeguarded during public appearances.
Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan recently attracted attention after greeting fans outside his Juhu residence from behind a protective glass barrier.
The measure highlighted the heightened security precautions being taken around some public appearances.
Many leading actors employ private security teams, while some are also provided with police protection based on individual threat assessments.
The reports have renewed discussion about the risks faced by high-profile figures in the Indian film industry, particularly when attending public events or meeting fans.
For now, the reported advisory remains disputed, with Mumbai Police’s reported denial making it important to distinguish between precautionary security measures and any formally confirmed instruction to actors.
