Sources say Salman Khan was expected to give the starting signal for the half marathon and also run for some distance with his fans on the occasion. However, due to delay in starting the programme, there was a hue and cry, and when finally Salman Khan arrived on the scene, the crowed lost its patience and started whistling, cheering their idol.
Soon this fan frenzy turned into chair and bottle throwing, creating a free for all situation. Now, the security agencies had no other option but to step in and cane the fans of Salman Khan to disperse them. Several of the attendees were injured in the melee, while Salman Khan was safely escorted to his car out of all this unruly happenings.
The fans of Salman Khan, who had come from far away places of Rajasthan to watch the matinee idol, had to return disappointed. In fact, the police had not expected that much of crowed for the star, and so were not prepared to handle that kind of situation, that led to whole chaos.
Earlier, similar thing had taken place in Hyderabad, when Salman Khan went there to promote ‘Veer’ in a mall. The crowed, which had gathered on the occasion, outnumbered the security personnel and Salman Khan was forced to cancel his programme before, and get out of there safely.
Unfortunately, this huge popularity of the mega star among audiences has not translated into success of his films at the box office. Even his latest film ‘Veer’ is said to have been doing only average business at the box office.
