Salman unperturbed by photographers ban till Kick release

Salman Khan is busy promoting his upcoming film Kick which is set to hit the screens for Eid. During one of the promotional events for the film, the actor had had an altercation with the paparazzi at the launch of a special song ‘Devil’ from his upcoming film ‘Kick’.

According to reports, the paparazzi decided to boycott Salman Khan after they were reportedly mistreated by his team at a promotional event for Kick on Friday. A leading tabloid reported that cameramen present at the event were allegedly roughed up by Salman's personal bodyguards and the venue's security personnel, due to which the fraternity decided to take this step.

A photographer told this tabloid, "Salman Khan needs to apologise to us or else we will not photo graph him. The blackout will continue till July 25 when his film Kick hits theatres. We will not click him even if we see him cycling at Bandstand. Our union will take up the issue at a meeting on Monday."

Apparently the whole issue cropped up when the star refused to pose for the photographers at a particular spot, resulting in a clash that went around for about half and hour, following which Salman issued a statement saying, "Those who want to cover the event are welcome to stay, the rest can leave if they wish." This added fuel to fire.
