Ahead of Sikandar’s release, Salman Khan addresses threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and reflects on life, faith, and security concerns.
March 28, 2025: With just days to go before the release of Sikandar, Salman Khan finally addressed a topic that has loomed over his life in recent years — the death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. At a press conference held last night, the Bollywood superstar opened up about living under constant security, his future projects, and the intense public interest surrounding his life.
When asked about the threats linked to the 1998 Blackbuck poaching case — a matter that the Bishnoi community takes personally — Salman responded with calm acceptance. “Bhagwan, Allah sab unpar hai. Jitni umar likhi hai, utni likhi hai,” he said. “Kabhi kabhi itne logon ko saath mein leke chalna padta hai, bas wohi problem ho jaati hai.” (It’s all in God’s hands. I’ll live for as long as I’m meant to. Sometimes, it just becomes a problem moving around with people constantly surrounding me.)
The actor’s comments come months after a shocking incident in April 2024, when two individuals on a bike opened fire outside his residence in Bandra. The assailants were later apprehended, and police confirmed it was a coordinated attack led by Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol Bishnoi.

Adding to the alarm, the Bishnoi gang later claimed responsibility for the murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique in October 2024, citing his friendship with Salman as the motive. Since then, security around the actor has been intensified.
Despite the threats, Salman remains composed and focused, surrounded by fans, friends, and family who continue to pray for his safety and long life. With Sikandar, directed by A.R. Murugadoss and co-starring Rashmika Mandanna, the superstar is all set to return to the big screen this Eid in a full-throttle action avatar.
