It looks like Salman Khan and controversies go hand-in-hand in almost everything and the recent incident during the shoot of his upcoming movie Bharat is proof to this. The shoot of Bharat had to be held at the Wagah border, but due to security reasons, the crew was not allowed to film at the location so the film-makers decided to shoot the replica version of the Wagah border at a village in Punjab and erected a set which is similar to the Wagah border.

The local farmers, traders and villagers were paid a substantial amount to cover up for their losses as the Wagah border set would be erected at their vicinity. But the Wagah border scene required a Pakistani flag to be hoisted and that's how the controversy began.

Now all of this was fine until they hoisted a Pakistanti flag on Indian soil and the villagers have not taken it kindly and filed a police complaint against Salman Khan and Bharat film-makers and even surrounded the sets and the hotel where Salman Khan was staying.
