Salman Khan was last seen in Sikandar.
Salman Khan has just added a big upgrade to his luxury car lineup—a bulletproof Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. More than just a premium SUV, the powerhouse of a car comes packed with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine and a 48V mild-hybrid system. It features a 9-speed automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive, allowing the vehicle to go from 0 to 100 km/h in mere 4.9 seconds, with a top speed close to 250 km/h.
Estimated to cost around a whopping Rs 3.40 crore, this Maybach comes with bulletproof enhancements including reinforced armour plating and ballistic-resistant glass, offering protection on top of luxury. The move comes amid rising threats to the actor’s safety. Salman has been under heightened security ever since a gunfire incident took place outside his Mumbai residence, Galaxy Apartments, last year. He previously armoured his Toyota Land Cruiser, even though Toyota doesn’t manufacture bulletproof versions.

Security around Salman’s home has been heightened significantly in recent months. In January 2024, major upgrades were made, including installing bulletproof glass on the balcony, high-tech CCTV systems, and razor wire fencing around the building.
Another incident occurred in May this year, when a woman attempted to breach security at Salman’s residence in Galaxy Apartments. She managed to slip past guards, but was eventually intercepted. The breach came shortly after another security incident on May 20, when a man from Chhattisgarh was caught trying to enter the building stealthily. Police later confirmed the attempted break-in.
Security around Salman Khan has been tightened following a series of alarming incidents. In April 2024, two armed men—allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang—fired shots outside the actor’s Mumbai residence. Though he already receives round-the-clock police protection, authorities recommended further strengthening his private security.
In June 2024, Navi Mumbai Police reportedly unearthed a new plan to attack the actor during his commute to his Panvel farmhouse, heightening concerns about his ongoing safety risks.
Adding to the worry, two back-to-back intrusions took place in May. First, a woman managed to get past security at Galaxy Apartments but was stopped before reaching Salman. Just days earlier, on May 20, a man from Chhattisgarh was caught attempting to sneak into the building. Both incidents were confirmed by local police.
