NEW DELHI, August 13: Veteran filmstar and BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha said at least 10 top film producers are facing threat from underworld dons.

Participating in Gulshan Kumar's last rites, Sinha said that ``he has concrete reports that 10 film producers are under threat.''

Refusing to name them, Sinha said, ``The government is well aware of those threats and should take immediate action to protect them.''

On the nexus between film producers and the underworld, he said, ``a few might have underworld connection. They might be getting their films financed by them. But it is wrong to say that all film-makers have nexus with the underworld.''
