Salman Khan’s latest release, Tiger 3, hit theaters nationwide on November 12, coinciding with Diwali celebrations. However, a video has gone viral showing fans bursting firecrackers inside a Malegaon theatre in Maharashtra during the film screening. The video opened a debate on social media, raising concerns about the safety of the attendees.
Videos of fans celebrating the release of Tiger 3 flooded social media on Sunday, but the festivities took a negative turn when some fans ignited fireworks inside the screening.
The video captures individuals setting off crackers as the film played, while others sought safety within the theater. Additional clips have surfaced showing Salman Khan fans celebrating by bursting firecrackers and launching rockets inside movie theatres.
This incident is not the first of its kind during the release of a Salman Khan movie. In 2021, during the premiere of Antim: The Final Truth, fans set off firecrackers inside a hall, prompting Salman Khan to address the issue on social media. He condemned the incident, urging fans not to bring firecrackers into the auditorium due to the potential fire hazard and risk to lives. Salman is yet to react to the latest incident.
Katrina Kaif played the leading lady in Tiger 3 and it opened to mixed reactions from everyone.
