Filmmaker Rohit Shetty made his first public appearance days after a shocking firing incident outside his Juhu residence, stepping out under heavy security at Mumbai airport on February 13. The director, known for blockbuster franchises like Golmaal, was surrounded by security personnel as he exited his car, while his team urged paparazzi to maintain distance. Though Shetty has remained silent on the incident, his presence marked a significant moment amid rising concerns in the film industry.
The firing was reported in the early hours of February 1, around 12:45 am, outside his residence in Mumbai’s Juhu area. According to police sources, the assailant allegedly arrived on a motorcycle, parked it at a distance, and walked towards Shetty Tower. Shots were reportedly fired outside the filmmaker’s personal gymnasium on the first floor before the attacker fled. The incident sent shockwaves through Bollywood, raising serious security concerns for high-profile celebrities.
Responsibility for the firing was allegedly claimed by members associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, intensifying the gravity of the situation. Social media posts purportedly from individuals identifying as gang members issued threats directed at the filmmaker. Authorities are continuing investigations into the matter, while security around several industry figures has reportedly been heightened.
At the airport, however, it was a deeply personal moment that caught public attention. Rohit was accompanied by his son Ishaan Shetty, who studies at the Central Film School in London. Before parting ways, Ishaan was seen touching his father’s feet — a traditional gesture of respect — followed by an emotional hug between the two. The heartfelt goodbye struck a chord online, with many noting the vulnerability behind the otherwise strong public persona of the action-film specialist.
The incident comes amid reports of alleged threats received by other Bollywood actors, including Ranveer Singh and Aayush Sharma, adding to ongoing security concerns within the industry. While investigations continue, Shetty’s composed public appearance suggests resilience — even as the situation remains under scrutiny.
