Police in India's Mumbai city are investigating a shooting attempt on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, who survived without sustaining any gunshot wounds.

The 36-year-old was shot at on Sunday evening while he was in a car leaving a football ground in Juhu suburb. Videos showed at least two men firing multiple shots at close range at the front passenger seat of Shroff's car while it was moving slowly past a crowd.

Two people, including Shroff's driver, were injured, according to the police. Three people were detained in Rajasthan on Monday in connection with the incident, the police said.

The attack has sent shockwaves through Bollywood, with celebrities raising concerns about Shroff's safety.

Several actors and political figures in Mumbai have been targeted by gunmen in recent years.

Shroff, the son of veteran Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff, made his film debut with Heropanti in 2014. He has appeared in many action films, and is popular with fans for his dancing and martial arts skills.
