Actor Salman Khan pleaded with his fans to celebrate the release of his film “Tiger 3” responsibly after videos showing fans setting off firecrackers inside a packed movie theatre went viral on social media.
A group of enthusiastic fans ignited firecrackers inside Mohan Cinema in Maharashtra’s Nashik district during a screening of the film last night, disrupting the peaceful atmosphere and causing widespread alarm among fellow moviegoers, police said.
“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,” Mr Khan wrote on X.
The viral videos start with dark visuals from the cinema hall. Whistles are heard as Salman Khan appears on the screen.
