After Salman Khan, Bollywood star Aamir Khan, whose views on Narmada dam oustees had raised the hackles in Gujarat, could be headed for trouble as state forest officials are probing if he had violated the Wildlife Act in Kutch during the shoot of "Lagaan" eight years ago.

Close on the heels of Gujarat police reopening a 'Chinkara' hunting case against Salman, the forest officials in Kutch region have begun a detailed probe to find out if there had been violation of the Wildlife Act by Aamir when he was in the district in connection with filming of the movie, told a senior forest department official.

In fact, a preliminary probe by forest officials has shown that "the producers did not take permission from the forest department for filming the endangered species and thus violated rules", he said.

Khan and his team were in parts of Kutch district for months for the shooting of "Lagaan" and he had created a big fan following among the locals.
