Superstar Salman Khan's security detail has been on high alert lately, given the multiple death threats he has been receiving. Recently, Aamir Khan's son Junaid had to face the ire of his team when he tried to approach the actor. Also read: Salman Khan faces scare at Sitaare Zameen Par premiere, man tries to breach security. 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.

No Trailer, No ShowTime: Tovino Thomas-starrer Narivetta's Telugu Version Shelved?
Last Updated: While the film was released as scheduled in Malayalam and Hindi, the Telugu version, titled Narivetta: Thodelu Veta, was missing from theatres in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Tovino Thomas's latest film, Narivetta, hit the theatres on Friday, May 23. Anuraj Manohar's action-thriller has opened to positive reviews from both fans and critics, thanks to its gripping storyline, powerful performance and sharp direction. The film was scheduled to be released in three languages – Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi. But in an unexpected twist, it did not get a Telugu release. While the film was released as scheduled in Malayalam and Hindi, the Telugu version, titled Narivetta: Thodelu Veta, was seen missing from theatres in Andhra Pradesh or Telangana, reported 123Telugu. Despite official announcements promising a simultaneous multilingual launch, not a single theatre has opened bookings or released trailers for Telugu audiences. In Hindi, the film was distributed by Mumbai-based Wide Angle Media Pvt. Ltd., AGS Entertainment took over the responsibility of the Tamil version, Narivettai. Bangalore Kumar Films had the distribution rights in Karnataka, while Mythri Movie Makers handled the Telugu version. But the distributor has remained tight-lipped on the matter till now. This unexpected delay has left many fans disappointed in the Telugu states. A few theatres in Hyderabad are screening the Malayalam version, and Telugu fans are still waiting for an official announcement on whether or not the film will be released in their language and, if so, when. Coming back to Narivetta, the Malayalam film is penned by Abin Joseph and directed by Anuraj Manohar. The action drama, headlined by Tovino Thomas, also boasts a talented ensemble including Suraj Venjaramoodu, Priyamvada Krishnan, Rini Udayakumar, Cheran, Arya Salim, Jithin Eden and more in vital roles. The film is backed by Tippu Shah and Shiyas Hassan under the Indian Cinema Company, while Jakes Bejoy has composed the musical score of the film. Narivetta delves deep into the themes of state violence and tribal resistance. Key scenes of Tovino Thomas's film were shot across Kottayam, Wayanad and Alappuzha for a naturalistic effect. The Malayalam flick has drawn heavy inspiration from the long-forgotten 2003 Muthanga incident. It was a poignant chapter in Kerala's history that saw a protest by the Adivasi community over land rights. On February 19, 2003, the officials attempted to evict them from Muthanga Sanctuary, but it resulted in the death of an Adivasi protester and police officer. First Published:
