The Maharashtra government passed an order to upgrade Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan’s security level to Y+ category following a written complaint pointing to the death threats to the actor after the thumping success of his recent back to back releases ‘Pathan’ and ‘Jawan’.
In response to the state government’s directive, the IG VIP Security has upgraded Shahrukh Khan’s security that will be privately funded, with the actor being responsible for covering the associated costs. He will pay the amount to the state government.
Y+ security is granted to people facing high threat perception. It entails the deployment of six personal security officers (PSOs) working in three shifts round the clock, along with five armed guards stationed at the person’s residence. Bollywood actor Salman Khan also has Y+ security due to the threats faced from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Shah Rukh Khan’s high-octane thriller ‘Jawan’ grossed Rs 1,103.27 crore at the worldwide box office, production house Red Chillies Entertainment announced recently. Released globally on September 7 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, the film, directed by Atlee, has created history by becoming the first Hindi film to cross the Rs 1,100 crore mark globally.
In a press release, the makers revealed that ‘Jawan’ earned Rs 733.37 crore in the domestic market and Rs 369.90 crore in the overseas market, making it a monumental success. The film has particularly excelled in the Hindi belt, amassing a net collection of Rs 560.03 crore.
‘Jawan’ narrates the emotional journey of a man determined to rectify societal wrongs. Shah Rukh Khan portrays the dual roles of Vikram Rathore and his son Azad in the movie, along with Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi as his co-stars, and Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Dutt in special appearances.
