Shah Rukh Khan’s security upgraded after extensive death threats

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has been provided with Y+ security by the Mumbai Police, including six armed security personnel guarding the actor around the clock.

The actor filed a complaint with the police and the Maharashtra government after two of his films, ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’, broke box office records.

This is not the first time the actor has been given death threats from the underworld. Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta recalled in September that the Bollywood Badshah was subjected to bullying during the 90s from underworld dons, but he continued making films. “Goli marni hai mar do, par tumhaare liye kaam nahi karoonga. Main pathan hoon,” Gupta recalled him saying.

Shah Rukh Khan is not the only star who has recieved death threats from gangsters. In June, a gangster who went by the name Goldy Brar, who took responsibility for the death of rapper Sidhu Moose Wala, told India Today that he will kill Salman Khan.
