Another dangerous incident involving fan behavior occurred in Malegaon, Maharashtra, where spectators lit firecrackers inside a cinema during the screening of Salman Khan’s latest release, Sikandar. This reckless act occurred despite previous warnings from the actor himself.

Scene Turns Chaotic as Rockets Hit Ceiling, Audience Panics

Video clips circulating on social media captured the moment fans ignited fireworks during a dance sequence featuring Salman Khan and co-star Rashmika Mandanna. The rockets struck the ceiling and fell into the crowd, causing panic among viewers, especially in the balcony section, which had to be evacuated.

While a section of the audience cheered, many were visibly shaken by the sudden and hazardous activity inside the enclosed space.

Repetition of Tiger 3 Incident Raises Safety Concerns

The incident mirrors a similar occurrence during the 2023 release of Tiger 3, when fans set off fireworks and string bombs inside theatres to celebrate Khan’s on-screen entry. That chaos led to screenings being halted due to thick smoke and disorder.

At that time, Salman Khan issued a public appeal through ANI:
"Bursting crackers inside theatres is dangerous and I am not at all in support of this. Also, instead of pouring milk (on pictures of actors), poor children must be fed with it."
