After the brutal murder of the Indian Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala by a gang troupe, the Sultan actor’s security was beefed up. The 56-year-old actor has been on the radar of criminal groups for a long time now and according to Indian media, police officials had enhanced the protection unit outside his residence.
The Dabangg star has been on Lawrence’s radar after the infamous blackbuck poaching case during the shoot of his 1999 blockbuster Hum Saath Saath Hain. The Bishnoi community considers the blackbuck to be a sacred animal and Khan’s involvement in poaching had hurt the community’s sentiments.
On the work front, Salman Khan will make a comeback with the upcoming film Tiger 3 co-starring Katrina Kaif in the lead role.
