The change follows reports of a threat email. Mumbai Police reportedly received information about the email on October 23; it had been sent to a school in the Bandra-Kurla Complex, and an investigation was launched. The email reportedly referred to Jalsa and mentioned October 31 and November 27 as dates. It also reportedly named singer Diljit Dosanjh in connection with a purported attack at Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse on November 27, though the threat was not explicitly directed at him. One report attributes the email to a group using a Khalistan-linked name. These are claims in the email, and police have not publicly established who sent it or whether it is credible. Hoax emails to schools are common, so the threat should not be treated as proven. orissapost

The source text says a fan breached the cordon and reached Amitabh last Sunday. I did not find this in reports. Earlier coverage, on October 25, described him greeting fans with Abhishek and police nearby, but did not mention a breach.

Connection to His Health

ANI notes that Bachchan recently shared a health update, saying he needed more rest while recovering, after doctors advised a break from online activity, as we reported earlier. It has not said why he needs rest, and no link to the security measures has been reported.

Why It Matters

Jalsa’s Sunday gathering has been a fixture for decades, drawing large crowds. Adding a barrier is a practical response to a threat that may or may not be genuine. For fans, it changes a very personal ritual, but the actor still appears to the crowd.

Work Front

Bachchan has several projects lined up. He will be seen in the courtroom drama “Section 84,” directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, which also stars Diana Penty, Nimrat Kaur and Abhishek Banerjee and is in post-production. He will also return as Ashwatthama in Nag Ashwin’s “Kalki 2898 AD Part 2” with Prabhas and Kamal Haasan.

What Comes Next

Police findings on the email and whether the shell becomes a permanent feature are the main things to watch. Bolly Orbit will update this report as developments emerge.
