Bollywood under threat: Comedian and actor Kapil Sharma received a life-threatening mail targeting him, his family, friends, and other associates allegedly claiming to kill them all. The comedian has filed an FIR for an unknown person with the Amboli Police, said the officials on Thursday.
Sharma is among the other popular names in Bollywood who have received similar alarming emails including choreographer, Remo D’Souza, comedy actor Rajpal Yadav, and actor-comedian Sugandha Mishra. The four have reported similar complaints with the police against an anonymous mail account for sending them life-threatening mail.
Sharma and Yadab received the mail from a correspondent signed as ‘BISHNU’.

In the wake of the recent attack on Saif Ali Khan in his Mumbai home, where the actor suffered six knife wounds to protect his family, the rise in threats to the Bollywood personality has made many wonders if the industry is under the radar of any looming calamity.
Last year, some of the biggest and most influential names of the dream city were targeted by gangsters like Lawrence Bishnoi.
Salman Khan made several headlines in previous years for the dangerous death threats he received from the gang of Lawrence Bishnoi. Bullets were fired at his house, and people associated with him were also targeted.
Shahrukh Khan and Baba Siddiqui were among his close associates who faced a looming fear of death, subsequently leading to the death of Siddiqui as two bikers from gang members of Lawrence Bishnoi group allegedly shot him.
Kangana Ranaut was also under the fury of the Sikh community for her alleged misrepresentation of them in her latest directorial release, Emergency. In a viral video that surfaced online, a man was threatening her saying, “If you release this movie, Sardars will beat you with slippers”
