The Maharashtra government has increased the security of Shah Rukh Khan to the Y+ category after he allegedly received death threats. According to the Maharashtra police, he had filed a written complaint with the state government, stating that he had been receiving death threat calls following the releases of the films ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan.’
Previously, SRK was provided security by two police constables, in addition to his own personal security guard. Now, his security has been upgraded to Y+ category based on the recommendations of the High Power Committee.
Shah Rukh Khan will now be accompanied by a team of six trained commandos from the state’s VIP security unit at all times. The police have also stated that, in addition to Shah Rukh’s security, his house will be continuously guarded by four Mumbai Police personnel armed with weapons.
Regarding the success of his films, ‘Jawan’ has redefined box office success, captivating audiences with its gripping storyline and stellar performances, and setting new records along the way.

There were a lot of people involved in this film, especially people from the South who came and settled in Mumbai and have been living in Mumbai for the last four years, working day and night for this film, which is the hardest work ever.”
