He wrote on X, "I'm hearing about fireworks inside theaters during Tiger3. This is dangerous. Let's enjoy the film without putting ourselves and others at risk. Stay safe." (sic) The videos showing the harrowing incident during the Tiger 3 screening start off with dark visuals followed by whistles when Salman Khan appears on the big screen.
