Salman Khan's Bodyguard Pushes Away Junaid Khan At Sitaare Zameen Par Premiere
Last Updated:
At the Sitaare Zameen Par premiere, a viral video shows Salman Khan's bodyguard pushing away Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan as he tried to approach the actor.
It was meant to be a celebratory evening for Aamir Khan, whose latest film Sitaare Zameen Par premiered in Mumbai on Thursday with much fanfare. But a brief moment of tension unfolded on the red carpet when superstar Salman Khan, attending the event to support his longtime friend, was surrounded by an unusually high security detail—one so vigilant that even Aamir's own son Junaid Khan couldn't get close to the actor.
In viral footage circulating online, Salman is seen making his way through the crowd with a heavy security entourage guarding every step. Amid the chaos, Junaid can be seen attempting to approach the Tiger 3 star, but his efforts were swiftly intercepted by Salman's security team, who pushed him aside to maintain a safe perimeter around the actor.
Despite Junaid trying to reason with the bodyguards, his access was firmly blocked. Salman, who appeared focused and unaware of the incident, continued walking without acknowledging the commotion behind him.
The heightened security around Salman Khan comes in the wake of several death threats he has reportedly received over the past year, leading his team to exercise extreme caution during public appearances.
Junaid Khan, who made his acting debut in 2024 with the OTT release Maharaj, followed by Loveyapa opposite Khushi Kapoor, has been carving his path in the industry. While Maharaj earned critical praise, Loveyapa, a romantic comedy directed by Advait Chandan, failed to resonate with audiences, closing its theatrical run with a modest ₹8.85 crore worldwide collection.
As for Aamir Khan, he stars in Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual successor to his iconic 2007 film Taare Zameen Par. The newly released film, which features Genelia D'Souza in a prominent role, hit theatres on June 20 and has drawn significant buzz for its emotional depth and thematic continuity.

'Sitaare Zameen Par' box office collection day 1 (LIVE): The Aamir Khan starrer has a decent start, expected to earn Rs 7-8 crore on opening day
'Sitaare Zameen Par' has now released in theatres on June 20, Friday. The film has been highly anticipated. Though it is not exactly a sequel to 'Taare Zameen Par', it is like a franchise movie which also deals with kids and brings across a special message. The early reviews of the film are encouraging and it may lead to growth in the box office numbers over the weekend. But on Day 1, the opening day number was clearly not expected to be huge, like Aamir's other movies like 'Dangal'. Sitaare Zameen Par Movie Review This clearly is a word of mouth movie and not those big mass blockbusters. Thus, as per trade analysts a single digit number is expected from the movie on day 1. According to Sacnilk, till Friday afternoon, the film has collected Rs 3.89 crore. The number can be expected to increase during the night shows. The film may end up having a Day 1 number of Rs 7.5 or 8 crore. Trade expert Taran Adarsh told ETimes, "This is a word of mouth film. This is not a Dhoom or 'Ghajini' that will open with a bang. Now, as I said, it all depends on the public reports. I think Rs 7.5 to 8 crore is what we are looking at." 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is expected to do better in multiplexes and in big cities as opposed to the two-tier, three tier centres where 'Housefull 5' may still dominate. But it all depends on positive word of mouth, which may eventually lead to more numbers over the weekend. Film trade expert Girish Wankhede, told Etimes, "At this moment, I can say that this film would not do more than 30-35 crores in the weekend." Day wise collection of 'Sitaare Zameen Par' Day 1 [1st Friday till afternoon] ₹ 3.89 Cr ** - Total ₹ 3.89 Cr

Sitaare Zameen Par Day 1 Box Office Collection Prediction: Aamir Khan Set for ₹7–10 Crore Opening
Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par releases today, June 20, and is expected to open with a Day 1 collection in the range of ₹7–10 crore, according to early trade estimates. Industry tracker Sacnilk reports advance bookings have already crossed ₹1.6 crore, indicating decent initial interest despite minimal promotions. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has predicted that the film could earn around ₹30 crore over the opening weekend, depending on word-of-mouth. 'The film's fate depends on audience response. Aamir's brand value will drive initial footfalls,' he said. The film is seeing a full theatrical release, as Aamir Khan has turned down a ₹120 crore OTT deal. He has also asked theatres to begin shows only after 11 am and keep ticket pricing at regular weekend levels. Box office performance will become clearer as the day progresses, but early indicators suggest a solid start driven by Aamir Khan's star power.

Salman Khan Jokes Aamir Had First Offered Him Sitaare Zameen Par, " Iska Paperwork Pe Kaam Chal Raha Tha"
Salman Khan seems to be in a mood to pull Aamir Khan's leg in public. After his unfiltered lines on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Salman Khan teased Aamir Khan at the Sitaare Zameen Par screening last night in Mumbai. Salman Khan jokingly revealed that Aamir had first offered the film to him. Salman was also keen to do the part as Aamir was busy with some "paperwork" back then. What's Happening At the starry screening of Sitaare Zameen Par, Salman Khan showed up to support Aamir Khan. Addressing the paparazzi, Salman Khan said that Aamir had first offered the film to him. "Isne story nahi bataayi na picture ki? (Has he revealed the story?)" He continued, "Isne mere ko bulaya tha ye subject dekhne ke liye... (He called me to see the subject). main chala gaya mujhe bahut achi lagi picture... (I saw it) maine haan bhi keh di... mere ko phone aata hai ki, 'main kar raha hu picture.' Maine itni tareef kari ye picture ke baare mein ki Aamir main phaad dunga iss picture mein (I said "Yes" to the film. Then I got the call that he's doing the film)." Salman added, "Isne bhi bola mere ko bhi ye picture bahut achi lagi par uss waqt ye kaam nahi kar raha tha, uss waqt thoda sa load tha... scripting... paperwork pe kaam chal raha tha iska uss waqt (Aamir also said he liked the film but he was not working back then. Some paperworks were going on at the time)." Salman Khan subtly hinted at Aamir and Kiran Rao's divorce proceedings. Salman didn't stop there. "Isne mujhe bola tha ki main pehle kar chuka hu yaar ye tere ko suit karega... (Aamir said he has done a similar character before, so he would suit the part)." Aamir also hit back (jokingly), "Aisa ho sakta ki wo haan bole aur main beech mein aaun? (If he had already said yes to it, can I oppose to that)?"
