Fear Still Hangs Over Bollywood: RGV on Tiger Shroff Attackers' Arrest

Ram Gopal Varma, known for his films like *Satya* and *Company*, has expressed concerns that the arrest of the attackers in the Tiger Shroff shooting incident may not significantly impact the underlying power structures in Bollywood. In two posts on X, he argued that the shooters are often the least important members of an underworld network, likening them to construction workers who follow orders. "The shooter is the labourer," he wrote, "the people who assign the job and decide who lives and who dies are the architects and the owners." RGV also noted that the alleged attackers looked unlike typical film villains, suggesting they might not even be cast as minor characters in a movie. He warned that capturing the shooters does not necessarily weaken the system, and that fear still lingers in Bollywood. The incident occurred on October 18, when three assailants opened fire at Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai's Juhu area. The actor survived with minor injuries, while his driver and a bystander sustained more serious wounds.
