Salman Khan appeals to fans to not burst crackers inside theatres, not waste milk on film posters
Mumbai, Nov 28: Sharing a video of fireworks being set off during the theatrical screening of his latest film "Antim: The Final Truth", Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has urged his fans to steer clear of such activities that can cause a "huge fire hazard".
Khan took to Instagram on Saturday night to appeal to his ardent followers to not put anyone's life in danger.
"Request my fans to not take fire crackers inside the auditorium as it could prove to be a huge fire hazard thereby endangering your lives and also others (sic)" the 55-year-old actor wrote in the caption of the clip he posted on Saturday night.
Khan also asked the theatre owners to not allow firecrackers inside the auditorium.
"My request to theatre owners to not allow fire crackers to be taken inside the cinema hall and security should stop them from doing so at entry point (sic)" he said.
"Enjoy the film by all means but please please avoid this is my request to all my fans... thank u (sic)" the actor added.
Later in the day, Khan posted another video on Instagram, this time of his fans bathing his poster from "Antim" with milk.
The actor urged them to avoid such wastage and instead donate the milk to children in need.
"There are so many people who don't even have water to drink and you are all wasting milk like this. If you want to do something, I request all my fans to use this milk to feed all those poor children who don't get to drink milk," he wrote alongside the clip.
"Antim" is an action thriller directed by Mahesh Manjrekar and also stars Aayush Sharma, Mahima Makwana and Sachin Khedekar.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
