A shooting targeting actor Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai's Juhu area has reignited concerns about gangster threats within the film industry, reminiscent of the 1990s. The incident occurred on October 18, 2026, when motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire. Shroff was unharmed, but his driver and a bystander sustained injuries.
Manoj Bajpayee, reflecting on the event during promotions for his film 'Gajab Raat', expressed relief that no one was critically injured. He noted the unfortunate nature of the incident and emphasized the need for criminals to fear legal consequences. Bajpayee recalled the violent period of the 1990s when Bollywood faced extortion and threats from organized crime.
As of October 22, 2026, the Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested ten suspects in connection with the firing. Three alleged shooters were apprehended in Sonipat, Haryana, and remanded to police custody. Authorities are still seeking the weapons used and are investigating the alleged conspiracy and motive behind the attack, with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang having claimed responsibility via social media.
Bajpayee expressed hope that law enforcement agencies would effectively address the current situation, as they did in the past. The renewed security concerns prompt questions about whether the industry might once again face the intimidation tactics prevalent in the 1990s, as the investigation continues to bring those responsible to justice.
