Gunshots were fired at actor Tiger Shroff's car near Pushpa Narsee Park in Juhu, Mumbai, as he was returning from a football club, Mumbai Crime Branch officials told news agency ANI, according to a report by Cinema Express.
Police: Shroff was not the original target
According to the officials cited by ANI, Shroff was not the shooters' original target.
