Jaipur, March 10: It seems Salman Khan`s brush with the Bishnoi community is never going to end. Salman, who had invited their criticism after supposedly killing a black chinkara a few years back, has rubbed the community the wrong way yet again. But the actor is not directly involved in infuriating them this time round.
The latest incident involves the crew of the Salman- starrer, ‘Veer’ against whom local Bishnoi community members have filed an FIR, alleging that they had cut four-five khejri trees for the film`s shooting at Gajner, a small in Kolayat district, 50kms from Bikaner.
The reason behind the Bishnois discontent is the fact that they are a fiercely pro-environment community and they regard the khejri tree as sacred and cutting it is illegal. Apparently, some khejri trees were cut for use on the sets of the film by the crew.
It seems that mere presence of Salman in the area had alerted the community. Prior to this, the shooting of ‘Veer’ had led to a wall collapse at Amber Fort.
