The Mumbai police were notified about the presence of two males roaming around in suicide bomber-like vest in the Vasai area

On Wednesday, Mumbai police booked two people in Palghar district on the suspicion of being terrorists after being notified by Anil Mahajan, a bank watchman, and ex-BSF personnel. The two individuals, dressed like bombers with a bullet vest around them, were spotted strolling around, buying cigarettes.

After an hour-long search, police finally got hold of them. The individuals were identified as Balram Ginwala, 23, and Arbaaz Khan, 20, according to media reports. However, on further investigation, it was found out that they were extras on the much-awaited Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff film.

With the help of CCTV footage, the police stopped the bus which the two men had boarded and found out that the bus was headed for a movie shoot and the suspects were side-actors.

TV9 Gujarati tweeted the news with a photo and wrote, “After an hour-long search operation, Mumbai police arrested 2 men suspected to be terrorists, but later turned out to be extras on the sets of Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's upcoming action film.”

As per a report in India Today, the film's production unit had to produce papers to get the actors released.
