The superstar, who appears in more than 100 films, had angered the notorious Bishnoi gang by killing two antelopes more than 20 years ago, police say.

The gang belongs to a religious sect that considers the animal sacred.

Mr Khan is unharmed, but this is the latest in a series of threats the actor has received in recent years.

Police in Mumbai said the two men approached on a motorbike early on Sunday morning and fired five rounds at Khan's apartment in the affluent Bandra neighbourhood before fleeing.
