The shooting of ‘Race 3′ was stopped as gunmen approached the set of the movie. The police immediately reached the set and halted the shooting due to security concerns.
Six police officials escorted the actor safely to his residence. Police also advised the actor to keep a low profile for a few days. If that is even possible for someone like Salman Khan to do is a mysterious question itself.

A source from the set stated: “The police arrived at the ‘Race 3’ set in Film City and told Salman and producer Ramesh Taurani that the shoot had to be stopped immediately as the actor needed to head home as soon as possible. Salman was escorted in another car by six cops, while his own car was driven back to his residence by another group of cops,”
