After five gunshots were recently fired outside director Rohit Shetty’s Juhu home, actor Ranveer Singh has now received a threat from an unidentified source.

As per an IANS report, the actor received the threat in the form of a WhatsApp voice-note. The security has been beefed up outside Ranveer Singh's house after the voice-note was sent to him, demanding crores of rupees through the message, after which the Mumbai Police was informed. Police have launched a manhunt for the sender of the threatening voice note.

The incident also comes at a time when Ranveer is involved in a tussle with Farhan Akhtar led Excel Entertainment. The latter has asked Ranveer to pay Rs 40 crore in damages for stepping away from Don 3 after taking up the role.

Earlier, four persons were arrested after bullets were fired at filmmaker Rohit Shetty's home in Mumbai recently, with the initial probe pointing at their links with Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Shubham Lonkar, an accused in the Baba Siddique murder case.

Hours after the firing, a threatening social media post surfaced claiming that Shubham was behind the crime.
