There were other videos of Salman Khan fans setting off rockets inside the theatre. 

Netizens were not happy with the incident and reacted negatively to the video slamming the fans for putting the lives of everyone at risk. 

This is not the first time that such an incident has occurred, in 2021, during the release of ‘Antim: The Final Truth’, fans burst firecrackers inside a theatre. 

Salman then took to social media and condemned the incident and asked fans not to do it. He had said: “Request all my fans not to take firecrackers inside the auditorium as it could prove to be a huge fire hazard thereby endangering your lives and also others.” 

“My request to theatre owners not to allow firecrackers to be taken inside the cinema and security should stop them from doing so at entry point. Enjoy the film by all means but please please avoid, this is my request to all my fans.. thank you,” he added. 

Meanwhile, Tiger 3 has collected Rs 44.5 crore in its opening day becoming Salman Khan’s biggest opener and highest grosser on Diwali.
