Past Objections to 'Anjaam'

The lawyer, Faizan Khan, stated that years ago, he filed a complaint with Mumbai police concerning a dialogue in Anjaam, which referenced deer hunting. He explained that his concern was tied to his respect for the Bishnoi community, known for protecting deer. "The Bishnoi community is my friend. It’s in their faith to protect deer. Therefore, if a Muslim references this inappropriately, it is condemnable," he shared with PTI.

Allegations of a Conspiracy

Faizan claimed his phone was recently stolen, casting doubt on his involvement in the threatening call. He expressed concerns of a possible conspiracy, suggesting someone intentionally used his phone to link him to the threat.

Shah Rukh Khan’s team has reportedly implemented enhanced security measures due to these recurring threats. Advising caution, Khan’s team suggested he forgo his traditional public appearance on his birthday. Meanwhile, Mumbai police continue investigating the case, examining all angles to ensure the actor's safety.
