Ram Gopal Varma Provokes Salman Khan Amid Lawrence Bishnoi Controversy

Bollywood Mascot: Superstar Salman Khan has been in the spotlight recently, facing ongoing threats to his life from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The situation has escalated since the tragic death of politician Baba Siddique, leading to heightened security for the actor. In the midst of this turmoil, renowned director Ram Gopal Varma has stirred the pot further by urging Salman to respond to the threats.

The Background of the Controversy

The tensions began when Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang claimed responsibility for the murder of Baba Siddique, citing his ties to Salman Khan as the motive. Just a few months ago, unidentified individuals even fired shots outside Salman’s residence in Galaxy Apartments, heightening concerns about the actor’s safety.

In light of these events, Varma took to social media, expressing his thoughts on the situation. He suggested that Salman should not remain silent in the face of these threats, stating, “I want Salman Khan to retaliate against the threats from Bishnoi; otherwise, it will start to look like cowardice on his part. It is his responsibility to appear as a superhero to his fans.”

Ram Gopal Varma’s Previous Comments

Previously, Varma made headlines for his remarks regarding the making of a film about Bishnoi. He pointed out that if a film were made about a major gangster, filmmakers would likely not cast someone who looks like Dawood Ibrahim or Chhota Rajan. He added humorously, “I don’t know of any star more good-looking than Bishnoi.”

In another post, he criticized the absurdity of the situation, saying, “A lawyer turned gangster wants to take revenge on a superstar for killing a blackbuck. He posted on Facebook that the politician was killed because he was a close friend of Salman Khan. The police can’t catch him as he is under government protection in jail, and his spokesperson makes these statements.”

The Roots of the Conflict

This entire saga traces back to Salman Khan’s involvement in the infamous blackbuck poaching case during the filming of “Hum Saath-Saath Hain.” The Bishnoi community has since been demanding an apology from the actor regarding the incident.

As the drama unfolds, Ram Gopal Varma’s provocative comments add another layer to an already complex situation. With the spotlight on Salman Khan, fans and critics alike are waiting to see how he will navigate these challenges. The ongoing conflict with Lawrence Bishnoi raises serious questions about safety, accountability, and the influence of celebrity culture in India. The public and media will undoubtedly continue to watch this situation closely as it develops.
