Lensmen decide to boycott Salman Khan, he laughs it off
Salman Khan, in his unique style, has laughed off decision by the paparazzi to boycott him over mistreatment of lensmen by his team at an event.
The actor whose latest movie Kick is all set for release on July 25, today posted a series of tweets indicating that it is not him but the photographers who are at the loss due to their decision to boycott.
this is wat I call a stand, the photographers r gonna loose out on wrk, but hv still taken a decision not to take my pics, happy fr them .
I wld hv immense respect for them if they keep this stand .
Ha ha ha
A leading tabloid reported that cameramen present at the event were allegedly roughed up by Salman's personal bodyguards and the venue's security personnel, due to which the fraternity decided to take this step.
A photographer told this tabloid, "Salman Khan needs to apologise to us or else we will not photo graph him. The blackout will continue till July 25 when his film Kick hits theatres. We will not click him even if we see him cycling at Bandstand. Our union will take up the issue at a meeting on Monday."
Apparently a skirmish ensued after the star refused to pose for the photographers at a particular spot, resulting in a clash that went around for about half and hour, following which Salman issued a statement saying, "Those who want to cover the event are welcome to stay, the rest can leave if they wish." This added fuel to fire.
While the film's producer-director Sajid Nadiadwala chose not to comment the matter, Salman's father Salim Khan told the same tabloid, "I don't know what transpired at the event but yes, cameramen do get very close at events. At Baba Siddiqui's Iftar, we were almost hit in our faces by cameras."
Incidentally, newbie Shraddha Kapoor recently faced such a ban and had to meet a group of mediamen to clear out the issue.
