Salman Khan receives new threat

On Sunday, Salman Khan once again received a death threat. Worli Traffic Control Room's WhatsApp number received a threatening message for the actor wherein it said that the actor would be killed at his home and an explosion would take place in his vehicle, as per Mumbai Police.

Worli Police have registered an FIR against an unidentified individual and launched an investigation.

"The number was traced to belong to a 26-year-old man in a village near Vadodara in Gujarat. The man has been sent a notice for investigation. He has been asked to appear before Worli Police within 2-3 days. It is also being claimed that the man is mentally unstable and is under treatment. The matter is being investigated by Worli Police," said officials.

Meanwhile, the security has been increased outside actor Salman's residence after a death threat. Recently, a bullet-proof glass wall was installed, removing his open balcony to ensure safety.

However, this is not the first death threat that the actor has received lately.

Salman Khan criticised for Sikandar

On the other hand, Salman faced criticism over his latest release Sikandar. The film had a good opening, however, it wasn't close to the usual business made by his previous hit films like the Tiger franchise, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan, Kick and more. The film continued its run in theatres but kept falling with each day.

Despite crossing the ₹100 crore mark in India, the film is not expected to hit ₹150 crore in its lifetime run.

The film also faced criticism from both critics and audiences for failing to bring back the magic of Salman’s earlier big-screen appearances.
