Overview
- The October 2024 killing of Baba Siddique prompted fresh death threats to Salman Khan and led authorities to place him under Y+ security, according to reporting from multiple outlets.
- In interviews published June 18–19, 2026, co‑star Vishal Vashishtha said Salman was mentally and emotionally drained on set and kept working despite visible pain.
- Vishal described Salman walking slowly between takes and immediately receiving physiotherapy to remain mobile for action scenes.
- Director A.R. Murugadoss and crew members said the actor’s rib injury and security measures forced late arrivals, night shoots and frequent schedule changes that left cast and crew waiting for hours.
- Earlier investigations reported the three accused in Siddique’s murder had links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and one accused said Salman had been on the gang’s hit list, a detail that helps explain the sustained high security around the star and the production’s disruptions.
