The message broadens its scope toward the entire Bollywood fraternity, warning that anyone contacted by them should comply or face repercussions.
Security tightened at Mumbai residence
The latest development comes days after Singh and his wife, actor Deepika Padukone, increased security at their Mumbai home. According to an official communication from their housing society to the Dadar Police Station, armed personnel were stationed outside the couple's residence as a precautionary step.
'We have details of your staff'
A significant portion of the voice note focuses on Singh's employees. The unidentified caller claims to possess details of the actor's managers and staff, including their residential addresses and daily routines. The message suggests that instead of targeting Singh directly, harm could be directed towards those working under him. The caller states that once such actions begin, Singh would "come to his senses", reinforcing the threatening nature of the communication.

"Ranveer Singh, you're very fond of giving advice—telling people to go file an application or report it at the police station. Fine, and you did it too—no problem. Now listen to me. Everyone who works under you—managers, staff—we have their details: where they live, when they go to the office, when they come home, where their families live. We have all the details. We won't say anything to you directly—we'll start hurting them. That's when you'll come to your senses," the man says was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
