Renowned actor Salman Khan finds himself in the spotlight once again, not for his upcoming film but for the heightened security measures surrounding him after the tragic loss of his close friend, Baba Siddique. A prominent figure in the Nationalist Congress Party, Siddique was brutally attacked by three assailants on October 12, 2024, sending shockwaves through Khan’s inner circle.
In light of escalating threats from notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Khan’s Y-plus security has been reinforced to ensure his safety. Despite the looming danger, the actor remains dedicated to his craft, continuing to film Sajid Nadiadwala’s action-packed movie Sikandar with an added layer of protection.
Amidst rumors of shoot cancellations following Siddique’s funeral, Khan’s manager swiftly debunked the claims, reassuring fans that the actor’s commitment to his work remains unwavering. Close sources also confirmed the bolstered security presence, both on and off the set, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a safe environment for all involved.
While minor adjustments to the filming schedule have been made in response to the security concerns, the production team remains focused on completing the project. Originally slated for a November or December wrap-up, the shooting timeline may now extend into January, prioritizing the well-being of everyone involved in the production.
As Khan’s security detail grows with the addition of armed police officers, the Mumbai Police have established a dedicated command center at his residence, Galaxy Apartments. The eight-story building now stands under constant police surveillance, equipped with AI cameras to monitor any suspicious activity in the vicinity.
To fortify security measures, barricades have been erected around the premises, restricting unauthorized access and ensuring a safe environment for Khan and his family. Similar precautions have been extended to his farmhouse in Panvel, underscoring the seriousness of the threats faced by the beloved actor.
Amidst the security concerns and production challenges, Sikandar continues to take shape with a star-studded cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Prateik Babbar, Sharman Joshi, and Kajal Aggarwal. Fans can anticipate the movie’s release on Eid 2025, eagerly awaiting the on-screen magic brought to life by Khan and his talented co-stars.
