Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has reportedly purchased a new bulletproof SUV amid ongoing security threats from mafia don Lawrence Bishnoi. According to sources close to the actor, the decision to purchase the vehicle came after Salman Khan was granted a gun license for self-defence.

The Nissan Patrol SUV, which is imported, is said to be an upgrade from his previously owned modified Toyota Land Cruiser with armored and bulletproof glass. This move is being seen as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the actor, who has been receiving threats from Bishnoi and his gang for the past few months.

Bishnoi, who is currently in jail, had previously stated in an interview that his life’s goal is to kill Salman Khan. The actor and his father, Salim Khan, have both been on the radar of the notorious gangster, who has a long history of criminal activities.

Despite the Y-plus security cover provided to Salman Khan and his family by the government, the actor is not taking any chances and has opted for a more secure mode of transportation. The bulletproof SUV is equipped with high-tech security features, making it almost impregnable to any potential attack.

Salman Khan’s upcoming movie, “Kisi Ka Bhai, Kisi Ki Jaan,” is slated for release later this month on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. The actor is also set to star in “Tiger 3” and “Tiger Vs Pathan,” where he will be sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan.

The purchase of the bulletproof SUV by Salman Khan highlights the growing concerns for the safety of Bollywood stars in India. Over the past few years, several high-profile cases of threats and attacks on celebrities have raised alarm bells across the entertainment industry, prompting calls for better security measures and protection.
