Two Injured in Tiger Shroff Juhu Firing; AICWA Demands Safety
AICWA demands real protection for Bollywood after a Juhu firing left two injured but Tiger Shroff unhurt. Police are investigating.
Tiger Shroff was unhurt after unidentified men opened fire as he left a private event in Mumbai’s Juhu area around 7 pm on Sunday, according to Mumbai Police. Two people, including the actor’s driver Firdaus, were injured.
The shooting has drawn an urgent response from the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA), which says the industry is being targeted and that Bollywood is living in fear.
A pattern, not a one-off
AICWA said the Juhu firing fits a worrying sequence of attacks on film personalities. The association pointed to earlier incidents: firing outside Salman Khan’s Bandra residence, a stabbing at Saif Ali Khan’s home, firing outside Rohit Shetty’s Juhu residence and repeated attacks on Kapil Sharma’s cafe.
The association argued that gangsters want to create a deliberate atmosphere of fear and extort money from Bollywood personalities. After the latest incident, it asked, “Today it is Tiger Shroff. Who is next?”
What AICWA is demanding
The association wants action, not statements. Its demands include:
- Strict action against the gangsters behind the attacks
- Arrest of the shooters and those who ordered the firing
- Dismantling of extortion networks
- Adequate security for film personalities and their families
- Accountability for repeated security failures
It also called on Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to intervene and ensure those responsible are brought to justice.
What the police have said
Deputy Commissioner of Police Mohit Garg confirmed that Tiger Shroff did not sustain any gunshot injuries and was completely safe. Driver Firdaus hurt his hand and was out of danger, while the second injured person, identified as Mr Chauhan, was receiving treatment.
Mumbai Police has deployed multiple teams across branches and carried out a preliminary forensic examination. The investigation remains open, and police have not publicly established who fired the shots or what motivated the attack.
Why this matters for fans
Bollywood runs on visibility: premieres, promotions, meet-and-greets, outdoor shoots and public appearances where stars are within arm’s reach. When an actor is targeted leaving a private event, that closeness suddenly feels risky.
AICWA said statements are not enough, and added that “Bollywood needs real protection.” The association evoked the underworld shadow of the 1990s, calling the moment a matter of grave concern. For fans, that comparison signals how seriously the film fraternity views the current threat, even as police work to establish facts.
