Mumbai: Actor Salman Khan on Wednesday exercised his franchise and cast his vote as Maharashtra went to polls on November 20. Photos and videos of the actor have surfaced on the internet, which show him surrounded by heavy security.
Khan was seen wearing a grey T-shirt, paired with denim jeans, and wore a black cap. The elaborate security arrangements also involved the use of drones to ensure full-proof security for the actor, who is facing a threat by jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
Recently, the gang also claimed to be behind the killing of NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was considered to be one of the closest people to the actor.

Earlier today, Salman's parents, Salim Khan and Salma Khan, made their way to the polling booth on Wednesday afternoon, surrounded by a team of bodyguards. Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan were also seen.
Several Bollywood celebrities, including Ananya Panday, Ranbir Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Madhuri Dixit, Farhan Akhtar, Raveena Tandon, Rasha Thadani, Govinda, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, Shraddha Kapoor, Kartik Aaryan, Prem Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh, and others, cast their votes on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, Khan received a threat, demanding Rs 5 crores. The message sent to the traffic control room claims that "Lawrence Bishnoi's brother is speaking, and if Salman Khan wants to stay alive, he should go to our temple and apologise or give ₹ 5 crore. If he does not do so, we will kill him; our gang is still active."
On October 30, Mumbai traffic control received a similar threat against Salman Khan, demanding Rs 2 crore. Following the investigation, Azam Mohammad Mustafa, a resident of Bandra East, was arrested in connection with the threat.
On the work front, Salman is currently busy with the shooting of his much-awaited film Sikandar, which stars Rashmika Mandanna in the lead. It is directed by AR Murugadoss. The film will be backed by Sajid Nadiadwala’s banner, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
Reportedly, Khan will also be seen in a cameo in Varun Dhawan's Baby John, a remake of Thalapathy Vijay's Theri.
He is also hosting the reality show Bigg Boss 18.
