After a threat assessment review, the Mumbai Police has reduced the security for Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. The decision was taken after it was reviewed that the superstars no longer faced any kind of threat.
The stars were provided with such a high degree security because their comments on ‘India’s growing intolerance’ received negative remarks from the public and other political parties. However after a careful evaluation the cops have decided to slash down the security because they felt that such high-end protection was unwanted.
Meanwhile, according to the review it is stated that the cops will continue to provide security for Amitabh Bachchan, Dilip Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Akshay Kumar, Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt.
The Bollywood Badshah has been a target since his controversial film, ‘My name is Khan’ and after he was offered an asylum in Pakistan, the cops decided to protect the star. Aamir on the other hand was provided security for the massive public outrage against his film ‘PK’ and his remarks on India’s intolerance.
The reports further indicated that Bollywood’s action hero, Akshay received extortion calls and threats for his films, ‘Khiladi 786’ and ‘Oh My God’. It’s also reported that the Bhatt brothers received major threats from the underworld.
The security for other Bollywood personalities like Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Rajkumar Hirani, Farah Khan and producers Ali and Karim Morani have been totally called off.
