Police in India’s Mumbai city are investigating a shooting attempt on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, who survived without sustaining any gunshot wounds.
The 36-year-old was shot at on Sunday evening while he was in a car leaving a football ground in Juhu suburb. Videos showed at least two men firing multiple shots at close range at the front passenger seat of Shroff’s car while it was moving slowly past a crowd.
Two people, including Shroff’s driver, were injured, according to the police. Three people were detained in Rajasthan yesterday in connection with the incident, the police said.
The attack has sent shockwaves through Bollywood, with celebrities raising concerns about Shroff’s safety.
Several actors and political figures in Mumbai have been targeted by gunmen in recent years.
Shroff, the son of veteran Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff, made his film debut with Heropanti in 2014. He has appeared in many action films, and is popular with fans for his dancing and martial arts skills.
He is also a professional footballer and made his debut for Mumbay FC in October 2024 in a regional tournament. He was leaving the football ground after his regular practice session when the attack happened
Deputy chief minister of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde visited Shroff after the shooting on Sunday evening, and said the actor had been left ‘shaken’ by the attack.
“These attempts to intimidate people will not be tolerated, and we will put an end to this hooliganism,” Shinde said.
