Rohit Shetty's filmography
An established name in Bollywood, Rohit Shetty's breakthrough came with the Ajay Devgn-starrer Golmaal (2006). In addition to directing Golmaal Returns (2008) and Golmaal 3 (2010), the director is also known for Singham (2011), Singham Returns (2014), and Singham Again (2024).
Shetty's other notable successes include Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Chennai Express (2013), which at the time of release, became the highest grossing Hindi movie, beating the Aamir Khan-starrer 3 Idiots (2009).
Bollywood stars being targeted?
Sunday's incident comes months after the Lawrence Bishnoi gang declared that it would “ruin the atmosphere of Mumbai”, with a gang member warning that anyone working with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan would be killed.
The warning, issued in August 2025, came a day after gangsters shot up comedian Kapil Sharma's cafe in Surrey, Canada.
