Indian police say 36-year-old actor Tiger Shroff was targeted on Sunday evening as he was being driven away from a football club in Mumbai's Juhu area, but he was not hurt.

Video circulating online shows at least two armed men firing several shots at close range towards the front passenger seat as the car moved slowly through a crowd. Local reports say two people, including Shroff's driver, were wounded.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited the actor and said attempts to intimidate people would not be tolerated. He said Shroff and his mother were deeply shaken.

The attack has renewed concern over the safety of celebrities in India. In 2024, shots were fired at Salman Khan's home and politician Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai.

Shroff made his screen debut in 2014 with the film "Heropanti" and is also a keen footballer.
