Security threats
Gangster's hitmen considered attacking Bachchan
Bachchan's health update comes at a time when it was revealed that the men who fired shots at Tiger Shroff's car had initially considered attacking other high-profile actors, including Bachchan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Aamir Khan.
However, they decided against it and pursued Shroff as that seemed easier.
They reportedly sent images and videos of the places they surveyed to gangster Anil Pandit (associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang) for his advice on their next move.
