Salman Khan’s shooting schedule amid Lawrence Bishnoi’s death threats – Here’s everything you need to know
In recent times, Bollywood’s Bhaijaan Salman Khan has faced unprecedented challenges. On the one hand, he lost his dear friend and politician Baba Siddiqui in a merciless assassination, and soon after the same, the notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang gave Khan death threats, which further added another layer of tension. Amid all this, it was reported that Salman Khan might cancel all his shoots, but being a true professional, nothing stopped Khan from fulfilling his work commitments. Despite the threats and personal tragedy, he continued not just one shoot but managed to juggle various projects.
‘Bigg Boss 18’ is Salman Khan’s one of the longest-running commitments. Though initially, several hosts came to be the face of the show, the impact Salman Khan created and the fandom he brought with him can’t be challenged. Thus, despite what goes on in his personal life, the actor never fails to fulfill his professional commitments to the show. Despite the demise of his close friend and politician Baba Siddique and the threats given by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, the actor resumed the shoot of ‘Bigg Boss 18’.
He worked with heightened security following death threats linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Sources revealed Khan stayed in a secured chalet within the production compound and strict protocols were implemented, which included:

The entire crew stayed on-site until filming wrapped up
Over 60 guards are stationed to monitor the area
Everyone entering the premises must undergo Aadhar card verification
This security was beefed up after the Mumbai Traffic Police received a message allegedly sent by a Lawrence Bishnoi gang demanding a ransom of Rs 5 crore from Salman Khan. Later, the sender apologized to the authorities saying it was a mistake.

Though Salman Khan continued shooting the famous reality show, he made clear he was upset with the ongoing events. Hinting at the pressure he was going through he said, “Yaar, kasam khuda ki (I swear) what all I am going through in my life, and I have to come and handle this”
He continued, “Aaj ki meri yeh feeling hai ki mujhe yahan aana hi nahi chahiye tha. But yeh ek commitment hai, isliye main yahan pe aaya hoon” (Today, I feel like I shouldn’t have come here, but it’s a commitment, so I came).”
‘Sikander’
It wasn’t just this popular reality show whose shoot was resumed, Salman Khan continued the filming of his highly anticipated movie ‘Sikander’ amid the threats.
Directed by AR Murugadoss, and co-starring Rashmika Mandanna, the movie has been creating a buzz right from the start. Reports were doing the rounds that in the wake of Baba Siddique’s demise and the serious threats posed to him and his family, Salman Khan has postponed the shoot of Sikander, but those were just romours. “As per the planned schedule, Salman Khan is shooting for Sikander,” confirmed a source close to the production house, according to a Hindustan Times report.
Further, Salman is expected to give a full dose of action with this movie. For the high-octane action sequences, reportedly Salman will be collaborating with ‘Mission Impossible’ stunt directors. His fight choreography will reportedly present a blend of aerial acrobatics with close-quarters combat.
Releasing on Eid 2025, the movie also features Suniel Shetty and Prateik Babbar in lead roles.
