Salman Khan’s birthday to get extra special for fans: ‘Sikandar’ teaser set for release
On his birthday, Bollywood’s Bhaijaan, Salman Khan is gearing up to give his fans a highly-awaited gift, the teaser of 'Sikandar.'
Superstar Salman Khan, who has a documented history for his numerous cases with the judicial system of the country, has been accused yet again for hurting the sentiments of a caste during the promotions of his last film Tiger Zinda Hai on a popular television show.
A petition was filed in a Delhi court on February 22 seeking to lodge an FIR against actors Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and others for allegedly hurting the sentiments of a community with a caste-based remark.

The complaint, filed by Harnam Singh, a former chairman of Delhi Commission for Karamcharis, alleged that the remark was made by Khan during a programme on a television channel while Kaif, “rather than protesting at the offensive and insensitive statement, joined the accused number 1 (Khan) in insulting and abusing the victim through her conduct.”
On the show, Salman had allegedly made a casteist slur, comparing his dancing skills to a “bh**gi” (a sanitation worker).
The court listed the matter for consideration for February 27 and also sought a reply from the Delhi Police on the complaint.
The incident which took place during the promotions of Ali Abbas Zafar’s Tiger Zinda Hai also created a lot of chaos during the film’s release, where the protesters brunt down posters and protested outside numerous cinema houses.
Presented by Yash Raj Films, TZH was released worldwide on December 22, 2017 and became one of the highest grossing Hindi films of all time.
