The Maharashtra government has increased the security of Actor Shah Rukh Khan to Y+ following death threats. The actor had given a written complaint to the state government about the death threats calls he has been receiving following the success of films 'Pathan' and 'Jawan'.
Following this, a high-power committee meeting was held wherein threats and security to the actor were reviewed. An official communication has been sent by the Maharashtra State Intelligence Department to all the police commissionerates, district police and special protection units (SPUs) in the state to provide "Y+ with an escort scale of security to Khan with immediate effect".
Anybody with the Y+ category will get 11 security personnel, including six commandos, four police personnel and a traffic clearance vehicle. The policemen would be posted at his bungalow Mannat, a police source told The Indian Express.
The actor will pay for the security.
Last year, a row erupted over the song "Besharam Rang" from Khan's film "Pathaan". A seer from Ayodhya had issued a threat to the actor. In 2010, Khan's security was stepped up after he received threats over the release of his film "My Name Is Khan".
Khan's high-octane thriller "Jawan" has raised Rs 1103.27 crore gross at the worldwide box office, the makers have said. Production house Red Chillies Entertainment on Friday evening shared the film's latest collection on microblogging site X.
"'Jawan' Making & breaking box office records every day," the post read, along with a poster showcasing the film's gross box office collection.
Directed by Atlee, the movie released worldwide on September 7 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. In a press release, the makers said "Jawan" has become the "first Hindi film in the history of Indian cinema to cross Rs 1100 crore at the global box office".
"In this, the India gross box office collection stands at Rs 733.37 crore and the overseas box office collection is Rs 369.90 crore," they said.
