Actor Vivek Oberoi has been provided protection, a police official said Wednesday evening.
There were intelligence inputs about threat to the Bollywood actor, the official said.
Oberoi was provided with two personal security officers on Wednesday, he said.
A police vehicle has also been parked outside his residence here, the official added.
Oberoi courted controversy recently when he tweeted a meme related to actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s personal life. He deleted the tweet and apologised after receiving flak on social media.
Oberoi stars in the role of Narendra Modi in a soon-to-be-released biopic on the prime minister.
