Bollywood celebs who were threatened by the Underworld

Shah Rukh Khan: It seems success has its pitfalls or so Bollywood's badshah Shah Rukh Khan will know. The superstar has received threats from the Underworld several times and the dons have forced him to do particular films. The Mumbai police on Tuesday have confirmed that security for Shah Rukh Khan had been beefed up following threats from the underworld. It is said that on Saturday four rounds were fired outside producer Karim Morani's Juhu. Reports suggest a note was founs at the skte of the shooting that said, “'SRK will be the next target.” However, this is not the first time that SRK has been threatened by the Underworld. In an interview to The Times Of India in 2002, SRK said that he was approached by producer Nazim Rizvi and film financier Bharat Shah in 1998 to do their film. However, the actor refused them. Six months later Rizvi approached him again and said the dreaded don Chhota Shakeel had sent him to meet the actor and that the latter wanted to speak to me. Speaking to TOI, SRK said that that they dialed a number and he spoke to a man who identified himself as Shakeel and asked him to work in Rizvi’s film. SRK said, “I was scared and told Shakeel that I would first listen to the story and decide." SRK added that he used to receive threatening calls on his mobile from Abu Salem forcing him to work in his movie. Shakeel also called twice to work with a girl called Nagma.
