Amitabh Bachchan's health update comes amid security concerns
Amitabh's message comes as the police investigate the firing incident involving Tiger Shroff's car. Reports about the case suggest that the suspects had allegedly surveyed other prominent personalities before deciding on their target. According to several reports, the accused had considered the residences of Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan. However, they reportedly dropped the idea after assessing the security arrangements around the actors' homes.
The police are also looking into allegations that the suspects sent photographs and videos of the locations they had surveyed to gangster Anil Pandit, who is believed to have links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. They allegedly sought guidance on how to proceed. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
