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.

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.

'Rani Mukerji, Kajol did it long before...' Maharaja Director Siddharth P. Malhotra on Deepika Padukone's 8-hour work shift demand
'Rani Mukerji, Kajol did it long before...' Maharaja Director Siddharth P. Malhotra on Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand As conversations around work-life balance and shooting hours gain momentum in the film industry, filmmaker Siddharth P. Malhotra has weighed in on the ongoing 8-hour shift debate. Reflecting on his own experiences, he recalled how actors like Rani Mukerji and Kajol have been following structured, 8-hour workdays long before it became a trending topic. Citing the example of the film Hichki, which was wrapped in just 28 days, Siddharth highlighted the importance of discipline and coordination on set regardless of the shift duration. Siddharth P. Malhotra opens up on 8-hour work requests Speaking to IANS, he said, 'Every film has its own requirement. We shot Hichki with Rani and the kids in 28 days with 8-hour shifts. Everyone—from actors to spot boys—was aligned. Kajol used to do 8-hour shifts even back in 2010. Rani does it too. So what Deepika is saying isn't new. If a director needs a certain actor and they can only give 6 hours a day—so be it. It's about aligning expectations. It's not about ego; it's about efficiency.' For the unversed, the ongoing debate around 8-hour work shifts gained traction after reports emerged about Deepika Padukone's exit from the film Spirit. The actress was initially slated to star opposite Prabhas but reportedly stepped away from the project due to disagreements over certain demands. These included profit-sharing, an eight-hour workday, and other terms that reportedly didn't align with the filmmaker's vision. Following her exit, the makers brought Triptii Dimri on board as the new lead. Siddharth P. Malhotra addresses the issue of pay disparity in industry Speaking about pay disparity in the industry, the Maharaj director acknowledged that while the conversation has been ongoing for years, the landscape is gradually shifting. Pointing to top stars like Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt, Siddharth noted that they are now among the highest-paid actors in the business. According to Siddharth, remuneration in the industry is closely tied to an actor's box office pull. 'The truth is, pay depends on your star power. The first few days of a film rely on the actor's draw. After that, it's the director's job to sustain interest. It's not just about gender—it's about economics. If an actor brings in a strong opening, they deserve that pay. It's business logic.'

Deepika Padukone's name is being used for ‘publicity'; Kajol, Rani Mukerji worked 8-hour shifts long ago, reveals director Siddharth P Malhotra
As the film industry talks more about fair working hours and work-life balance, filmmaker Siddharth P Malhotra has shared his thoughts on the matter. He believes the demand for shorter shifts is not new and says actresses like Kajol and Rani Mukerji had already been working that way years ago. Recently, Deepika Padukone made headlines for reportedly stepping away from Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's upcoming Telugu film 'Spirit'. One of the reasons was reportedly said to be her request for an eight-hour workday. Deepika became a mother eight months ago and now wants more time with her family. But according to Malhotra, this kind of request has been around for a long time — and Deepika is not asking for anything unusual. 'We finished Hichki in 28 eight-hour shifts' Siddharth P Malhotra, who directed 'Maharaj' starring Junaid Khan last year, spoke about his earlier film 'Hichki', which starred Rani Mukerji. He said the entire film was shot in just 28 eight-hour days. 'We finished Hichki, the whole film, in 28 eight-hour shifts. Whether it was Rani (Mukerji), the kids, the cameramen or the spot boy, everyone finished in that time,' he told IANS. 'Hichki', was Rani's first film after she gave birth to daughter Adira Chopra in December 2015 'Kajol used to do eight-hour shifts back in 2010' Malhotra also recalled his 2010 film 'We Are Family', which starred Kajol. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo He said she made her preferred working hours very clear right from the start. 'When I'd shot with Kajol in 2010, she used to do eight-hour shifts. She made it very clear she'd either come for 10 am to 6 pm or 7 am to 2 pm or for an eight-hour shift at night. Rani also did the same. Deepika isn't demanding anything new,' he said. 'People are just gaining publicity in the name of Deepika Padukone' Siddharth P Malhotra believes the attention Deepika Padukone is receiving is unnecessary and unfair. He said there is nothing wrong with asking for time with family, especially if the actor is clear from the beginning. 'If I need an actor and am confident I can finish the film within those working hours, I'd work with them even for six hours a day. This isn't actor-specific. People are just gaining publicity in the name of Deepika Padukone. She's asking for family time, what wrong is she demanding?' He added that if the working conditions do not match the filmmaker's vision, they are free to choose someone else. Deepika Exits 'Spirit'; Bollywood Backs 8-Hour Rule
