Shah Rukh Khan faces protest for promoting online gaming app

In the wake of protests over Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan endorsing an online gaming app, rummy portal A23 Games, the Mumbai Police have beefed up security outside the actor's residence, Mannat, in the city.

A23 Games had recently released an ad campaign featuring the actor. 

The ad stoked a controversy, with a forum, Untouch Youth Foundation, opposing the decision of the actor to promote the online gaming platform and calling for a protest outside the actor's residence.

Krishchandra Adal, president of the forum, pointed out that if someone is gambling outside, the police arrest them, but Bollywood actors are promoting online games and misleading the youth.

According to media reports, the police have detained a few people.
