Mumbai Police on Wednesday arrested two men on the suspicion of being terrorists but they turned out to be artists from a film being shot nearby. As per media reports, the two men identified as Balram Ginwala (23) and Arbaaz Khan (20) were taken into custody after Anil Mahajan, a bank watchman and ex BSF personnel, informed police about 2 persons dressed as terrorists roaming in Palghar on May 27.

Reportedly, the two men all decked up in suicide bomber-like vest boarded a bus, which the Police had to stop with help of CCTV footage. After an hour-long search operation, they were detained, and after further investigation, it was revealed that they were extras in Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's upcoming action film, and were headed to the shoot location. 

As per media reports, the film’s production unit had to produce papers to get them released. However, Mumbai Police registered a case against movie's production unit in-charge and the 2 actors under Section 188 of IPC for creating panic and disrupting peace among citizens. Police also felicitated the security guard Anil Ramdas Mahajan for his alertness.

Meanwhile, Tiger and Hrithik’s untitled action film, also starring Vaani Kapoor in the lead is all set to hit the screens on October 2, this year. It is directed by Siddharth Anand and the two actors who are known to be much fond of each other are prepping hard for the upcoming venture. 

As of now, Hrithik is gearing up for the release of his upcoming venture 'Super 30'. After much delay, the film is finally set to arrive in the theatres on July 12. On the other hand, Tiger Shroff recently starred in Punit Malhotra's directorial venture 'Students of the Year 2' which also starred Ananya Panday and Tara Sultaria. The film backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions tanked at the box office.
