Manoj Bajpayee Calls Security Threats To Bollywood Stars 'Concerning' After Tiger Shroff Shooting Incident: 'Definition Of Crime Has Changed Completely'

Actor Manoj Bajpayee has expressed concern over the increasing security threats faced by Bollywood stars following the shooting incident outside Tiger Shroff's home. Bajpayee, who has experienced the film industry's past ties with the underworld, believes that the nature of crime has changed significantly in recent years. As a result, several Bollywood celebrities have reportedly bolstered their security arrangements.

Notably, Amitabh Bachchan recently appeared outside his Mumbai residence from behind bulletproof glass while greeting fans during his daily Sunday outing. The Mumbai Police issued a security advisory for Bollywood actors, advising them to avoid crowded places in light of the incident. When asked if the fear that once gripped Bollywood due to underworld threats was resurfacing, Bajpayee explained that the situation today is different.

Today, celebrities might not always be the actual targets of such attacks. The pace and definition of the crime have changed completely; now, someone may sit somewhere else and send their shooters to attack a target, which may not even be the real target. Bajpayee also shared his perspective on the Tiger Shroff shooting incident, stating that the actor might have been targeted unexpectedly, with the real target reportedly being Salman Khan.

The accused allegedly conducted surveillance on the residences of several Bollywood stars, including Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, and Aamir Khan. Bajpayee hopes that the situation will become safer for Bollywood celebrities, acknowledging that the state government is taking the matter seriously and monitoring the situation with great concern.
