Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has reportedly emerged as the alleged initial target in the investigation into the October 18 firing incident involving Tiger Shroff in Mumbai. According to a report by The Indian Express, police sources claim that the men accused of carrying out the attack were initially instructed to target Aamir but later shifted their focus after allegedly finding it difficult to approach him.
The reported development has raised fresh concerns about the security of prominent Bollywood personalities as the Mumbai Police continue investigating the case. However, the claims about the alleged target and the wider conspiracy remain subject to investigation.
Shooters Allegedly Conducted Recce Near Aamir Khan’s Residence
According to the report, the alleged shooters stayed in Mumbai for nearly a month after arriving from Haryana on September 20. During this period, they reportedly conducted reconnaissance near the area where Aamir Khan lives at least three times.
Police sources cited in the report said the men allegedly found that Aamir was frequently away for film shoots or remained inside his residence for extended periods. They reportedly struggled to identify an opportunity to approach him, prompting a change in the alleged plan.
The report identifies the alleged shooters as Phool Singh and Rehan Ansari. Investigators are examining their movements, contacts and the roles of other individuals suspected of assisting the operation.
Why Was Tiger Shroff Allegedly Chosen?
After reportedly abandoning the plan involving Aamir Khan, the accused allegedly shifted their attention to Tiger Shroff. According to police sources, the actor was considered more accessible because he regularly visited a park in Mumbai’s Juhu area to play football on Sundays.
The firing incident took place on October 18. The attack on Shroff’s car triggered a wider investigation into the alleged conspiracy, including the possible involvement of people responsible for supplying weapons and arranging logistics.
The case has also drawn attention to the security arrangements surrounding Bollywood celebrities. Investigators are working to establish how the accused allegedly moved around Mumbai, conducted reconnaissance and coordinated with other suspected members of the network.
Aamir Khan Had Reportedly Received Threats Earlier
The report also connects the alleged plan with threats Aamir Khan reportedly received in July 2026. At the time, a person claiming to be associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly issued a threat against the actor.
According to reports, the message referred to Aamir’s relationship with Gauri Spratt. Investigators are examining whether the earlier threats had any connection with the alleged plan uncovered during the Tiger Shroff shooting investigation.
The precise relationship between the reported threats and the October incident has not been conclusively established publicly. Claims about the involvement of any individual or organisation should therefore be treated as allegations rather than proven facts.
Salman Khan and Other Celebrities Also in Focus
The investigation has brought other Bollywood names into public discussion, including Salman Khan and Ranveer Singh. Earlier media reports said the alleged shooters had visited locations associated with several actors while staying in Mumbai.
However, the details surrounding who was specifically named as a target have varied across reports. A separate report by Bollywood Hungama quoted a police official clarifying that questioning some of the accused involved in the alleged weapon-supply network had not established that another celebrity was targeted.
This distinction is important: reported surveillance near a celebrity’s residence does not, by itself, prove that the person was included in an attack plan.
Investigation Into Tiger Shroff Firing Case Continues
Mumbai Police are continuing to investigate the October 18 firing, including the alleged roles of the shooters, suspected facilitators and individuals connected to the supply of weapons. Authorities are also examining the communications and movements of those arrested in connection with the case.
The latest report suggests that Aamir Khan may have been the intended target before the alleged plan shifted to Tiger Shroff. Nevertheless, the full sequence of events and the identities of those who may have directed the alleged operation will depend on evidence gathered during the investigation.
For now, the claims about Aamir being the original target remain based on reporting attributed to police sources. Further official findings will be needed to establish the details of the alleged conspiracy.
