Back to Work: According to India Today, Salman Khan shot for an episode of Bigg Boss 18 late on Thursday night, arriving on set under heavy security. To further secure his safety, Salman stayed overnight at his private chalet within the production premises, ahead of his scheduled call time on Friday.

Despite the ongoing threats, Salman’s filming schedule remains uninterrupted. His team is closely coordinating with the Bigg Boss 18 production and the channel to ensure secure movements on set. Multiple layers of security have been enforced, with over 60 guards deployed to the area. Additionally, access to the Bigg Boss 18 shooting compound has been restricted, with a mandatory ID verification process, including Aadhar card checks for all personnel.

The entire Bigg Boss 18 crew has also been instructed to remain on-site until filming concludes, ensuring no external disruptions occur. Salman Khan primarily shoots for the weekend special episodes, Weekend Ka Vaar, as part of his hosting duties.

New Threats Against Salman Khan: Earlier on Thursday, a threatening message was received on a Mumbai Traffic Police WhatsApp helpline, demanding ₹5 crore from Salman Khan. The sender warned that if the demand was not met, Salman’s fate would be worse than that of his late friend, politician Baba Siddique, who was killed last week.

“Don’t take it lightly. If Salman Khan wants to stay alive and end the enmity with Lawrence Bishnoi, he must pay ₹5 crore. If the money is not paid, Salman Khan’s condition will be worse than Baba Siddique,” the message claimed, according to reports from ANI. Mumbai Police have initiated an investigation into the threat.

Last week, Baba Siddique (66) was shot dead by three individuals in the Nirmal Nagar area of Mumbai, just outside his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office. The assailants, allegedly linked to the Bishnoi gang, left Baba Siddique fatally wounded, and he was declared dead after being rushed to Lilavati Hospital. The Bishnoi gang has previously targeted Salman Khan, keeping him on their “hit list,” which reportedly includes comedians, politicians, and rival gang members.
