Actor Vivek Oberoi has been provided protection, a police official said on Wednesday evening.
There were intelligence inputs about threat to the Bollywood actor, the official said. Oberoi was provided with two personal security officers 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 apologized 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.
