Salman Khan has been entertaining the world for over 25 years and has amassed millions of fans across the globe. These fans will do anything to meet the superstar and are often snapped showing up at the location where he films. And the same happened during the filming of Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

During a recent chat, the director recalled how 25,000 SK fans had once surrounded their sets in Chandni Chowk and the means they resorted to in order to evade them.

Kabir Khan on Salman Khan’s fandom

While conversing with Mashable India recently, Kabir Khan recalled the Chandni Chowk schedule for Bajrangi Bhaijaan and the tactics they used to keep Salman Khan safe. He said, “We were shooting inside a lane in Chandni Chowk. We didn’t know what was happening outside. The police came, the Assistant Commissioner of Police, and he said ‘You don’t know what’s happening outside, but you are surrounded by 25,000 people. You will not be able to leave this place. Because everyone knows that you are working with Salman Khan here.'”

Revealing they had to bring in some ‘decoy cars’ to get Salman out, he continued, “We had to bring some decoy cars, a few Innovas, we had to hide Salman in the car, found another way to get Salman out of that place, then we could leave. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to leave. 25,000 people were around us, that’s his stardom.”

Besides Salman Khan, Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan also starred Kareena Kapoor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Harshali Malhotra. It beautifully told the story of Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi – a Hanuman devotee, who does everything in his power to reunite a mute six-year-old Pakistani Muslim girl, Shahida, with her family in her hometown.
