The actor, who plays a sardar in a part of the film, got out of his van to proceed to the studios but the guards refused to let him in. They had obviously not recognized him in his sardar look.
Shakti then said that he was a sardar who had come to visit the film's leads Anil Kapoor and Akshaye Khanna.The guards had a verbal argument with Shakti and it proceeded on to become aggressive. Some bystanders rushed in and told the guards that it was Shakti Kapoor, the actor.
What Shakti couldn't understand was that while there were 40 junior artistes around who were dressed as sardars, the guards had no issues with them. He doesn't know why they only had a problem with him.
