Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan And Rohit Shetty Attacks Cited
AICWA argued that the incident involving Shroff should not be viewed in isolation. It pointed to previous attacks involving Bollywood personalities, including the firing outside Salman Khan’s Bandra residence, the stabbing of Saif Ali Khan at his home, the firing outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s Juhu residence and repeated attacks on comedian Kapil Sharma’s cafe.
The association alleged that such incidents were part of a wider pattern intended to intimidate film personalities and extort money from them.
“Today it is Tiger Shroff. Who is next? When a celebrity is not safe in the heart of Mumbai, how can an ordinary Mumbaikar feel safe?” AICWA said in its statement.
It also criticised the authorities for failing to prevent repeated attacks, arguing that assurances alone would not be enough to address the concerns raised by the film fraternity.
AICWA Lists Demands For Amit Shah, Devendra Fadnavis
In its appeal to Amit Shah, the association called for immediate central intervention, a time-bound report on the action taken, and a dedicated task force to improve security across the film industry.
AICWA also urged Maharashtra Chief Minister and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis to ensure strict action against those responsible. Its demands include the arrest of the shooters and those who allegedly ordered the firing, a fast-track trial under strict laws, adequate protection for film personalities and their families, and accountability for security lapses.
The association further called for action against alleged extortion networks and measures to restore confidence in Mumbai’s law-and-order system.
‘Bollywood Will Not Work In The Shadow Of Fear’
Warning against a return to Mumbai’s underworld era of the 1990s, AICWA said repeated attacks could have serious consequences for the film industry, which supports the livelihoods of thousands of people.
“Mumbai will not be allowed to go back to the underworld days of the 1990s. Bollywood will not work in the shadow of fear,” the association said, reaffirming its support for Shroff and his family.
