Unidentified assailants opened fire outside the Mumbai residence of Bollywood filmmaker Rohit Shetty in the early hours of Sunday, triggering heightened security measures in the Juhu area. According to police officials, four rounds were fired outside the director&rsquo;s home at around 12:43 am.
Following the incident, Mumbai Police deployed additional personnel near the premises as a precaution. No injuries were reported, and Shetty and his family were unharmed. Police teams, along with forensic experts, reached the spot shortly after the firing to collect evidence and assess the scene.
Authorities said multiple angles are being examined to identify those responsible, while the motive behind the firing remains unclear. Investigators are analysing CCTV footage from the surrounding area and questioning locals to trace the assailants and reconstruct the sequence of events.
Videos showing a strong police presence outside Rohit Shetty&rsquo;s residence have since surfaced on social media. The visuals show police vehicles, barricades and officers stationed outside the building as part of the security arrangement.
The filmmaker and his family have not released any statement on the incident so far. The firing has once again raised concerns over the safety of Bollywood personalities in Mumbai. In recent years, similar incidents have been reported outside the residences of high-profile actors, including repeated firing cases linked to organised crime networks.
Police are also examining whether the incident was intended as a threat or connected to any other motive. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are awaited.
