Shah Rukh Khan has previously encountered the Mumbai underworld and has earned a reputation for confronting threats head-on. Notably, filmmaker Sanjay Gupta recently took to social media to commend the film Jawan and lauded Mr. Khan for his resolute spirit in facing various challenges, including threats from criminal elements. Under the Maharashtra government's policy, security protection is extended to individuals who are deemed to be at risk of harm or threats to their lives. In these instances, individuals are typically required to either pay a fee or deposit a security amount to access the protective services.
SRK's recent release Jawan crossed Rs 1100 crore worldwide. The actor is gearing up for Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki which is slated to release in December.
