Mumbai police inspecting the crime spot
A man who owns a security agency in Mumbai has been shot this afternoon at Film City, a large studio complex used extensively by Bollywood.
The police said Raju Shinde, 45, has been rushed to hospital after being shot in the stomach and arm by two men on a motorcycle, who were chased briefly before managing to escape. Mr Shinde's company was contracted to provide guards on location.
Superstar Amitabh Bachchan tweeted his shock at what he described as a "gang war" near where he was working.
"Raju is a committed Shiv Sainik. We condemn the attack. Claims of gang war are baseless' said Arwind Bhosle, a spokesperson for the Shiv Sena.
Mr Bachchan later posted again on the shooting.
Senior police officer Fateh Singh Patil said, "After the firing, the assailants were chased by another security guard and both attackers ran away leaving their motorcycle in the jungle of Arey. We have seized the bike."
