It seemed like a scene from some movie. An enraged Salman Khan barged into the set of a Bollywood movie and allegedly abused Aishwarya Rai, his perennial obsession and the film's heroine. Sometimes the thin line between reality and fiction gets blurred. So it was at the launch of Dreams Productions' new venture featuring Aishwarya and Shah Rukh Khan in the leading roles.

The occasion was auspicious but apna temperamental Salman made an unwelcome appearance and left a bad taste to the evening. Grapevine has it that it was in fact Ash who had invited Salman to the film's launch. The Khan was furious when he walked in and complained that Ash had given him wrong directions to the studio that is located in Pune.Famous for his rude behavior, Salman lived upto his reputation. He reportedly gave Ash and co-star SRK a mouthful.

And as a ‘fitting finale' to the tamasha he took off his shirt and fired a volley of desi expletives at the film's director Aziz Mirza. Eyewitnesses have it that that an embarrassed Ash took Salman away from the spot. Eventually the film's unit packed up, cancelled the four-day shoot and returned to Mumbai.
