Watch The incident unfolded at the glitzy premiere of Aamir's film Sitaare Zameen Par in Mumbai on Thursday, where Salman was spotted with a heavy security presence. Salman had come to the screening to support his friend Aamir, and several images of his outing have surfaced on social media. A video shows Salman navigating his way at the venue, where he's seen being shielded by his team as he goes through a large crowd. In the same footage, Aamir's son Junaid was spotted attempting to reach out to Salman, trying to get close to him amidst the tight security. However, Junaid's attempt was thwarted as Salman's security team pushed him aside to ensure a safe distance from the actor. Junaid tried to reason with the bodyguard, attempting to get through to him, but Salman's security team remained firm, blocking his access to the actor. Meanwhile, Salman, who was last seen in Sikandar, appeared oblivious to the commotion around him, remaining focused on proceeding forward, seemingly unaware of Junaid's attempts to approach him. A post shared by Instant Bollywood (@instantbollywood) Junaid Khan made his debut with direct-to-OTT release Maharaj in 2024, which was received well by the audiences and critics. He followed it up with romantic-comedy Loveyapa, which also starred Khushi Kapoor. However, the film failed to strike a chord with the audience. Directed by Advait Chandan and produced by AGS Entertainment and Phantom Films, the film concluded its theatrical run with a worldwide box office collection of only ₹8.85 crore. Aamir is seen in Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel to his 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. The film also stars Genelia D'Souza in the lead role. The film was released on the big screen on June 20.

Salman Khan did not support the idea of a sequel for 'Andaz Apna Apna'; producer's daughter says, "Na tumhe milega kuch, na mujhe milega kuch"
Bollywood's classic cult movie ' Andaz Apna Apna ' had a much-awaited re-release in theatres today (April 25). The film features Bollywood icons Aamir Khan and Salman Khan , alongside Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, Shakti Kapoor, and Paresh Rawal in key roles. It was Salman Khan's decision to re-release the movie, as he did not support the idea of a sequel. During a recent interview with Lehren Retro, one of the daughters of the late producer Vinay Sinha shared the backstory behind this decision. She had worked with Salman as an executive producer for the film Ready in Sri Lanka. The 'Tiger 3' actor initiated a conversation about 'Andaz Apna Apna', and she mentioned the possibility of a sequel. Phantom Films buys remake rights of 'Andaz Apna Apna' remake She stated, 'So unhone baat shuru ki ki 'kya soch rahe ho tum log about Andaz Apna Apna'. Maine kaha 'bhai, we are thinking about a sequel or something'. He said, 'Arey arey, sequel ki baat mat karo, kaun kitna kya le jayega. Na tumhe milega kuch, na mujhe milega kuch.'' Salman suggested she consider a re-release first and then plan for a sequel. 'Usko ache se master karo and do it in Dolby, kyunki uss time toh mono sound hua karta tha,' she added. She then approached her father, Vinay Sinha, and informed him of Salman's suggestion regarding the re-release. He agreed to consider it. What followed was a meticulous restoration process—the film was scanned in 4K resolution and remastered with Dolby sound, significantly upgrading the original mono audio experience. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, 'Andaz Apna Apna' stars Salman and Aamir as Prem and Amar, respectively. The movie was originally released in 1994.
