Armed men barge into ‘Race 3’ sets, threatening to kill Salman Khan

Days after Bollywood actor Salman Khan received death threats from a Jodhpur-based gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, a group of armed men barged the sets of a film where the actor was shooting, threatening to kill him.

Salman has been busy juggling the shoot schedules of ‘Race 3’ and ‘Bigg Boss 11’. The ‘Dabbang’ actor recently visited Jodhpur for his black buck’s case hearing, where the actor was threatened by the gangster, who belongs to the community that had filed the case against the actor.

It is being said that the community involved in the case worships the black bucks and a few armed men from the same group attacked the sets of ‘Race 3’, where Salman was shooting on January 9 and threatened to kill him. The shooting was halted for the day and fortunately no one was hurt in the event.

Since then, a dozen policemen have been appointed to guard Salman, a source told Mumbai Mirror. “The police arrived at the ‘Race 3’ set in Film City and told Salman and producer Ramesh Taurani that the shoot had to be stopped immediately as the actor needed to head home as soon as possible. Salman was escorted in another car by six cops, while his own car was driven back to his residence by another group of cops,” the source said.

Producer Ramesh Taurani also confirmed the incident saying, “There are additional bouncers, guards and personnel to safeguard Salman and the unit at all times.”

'Race 3' is scheduled to release this Eid and also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor and Daisy Shah.
