Last updated on: September 07, 2010 19:21 IST

That Salman Khan has a massive, pan-India fan following became more than evident today when he landed in Hyderabad to promote his soon-to-be released film, Dabangg.

His debutant co-star, actor-MP Shatrughan Sinha's pretty daughter Sonakshi, simply got swept in the wake.

There was a near stampede as Salman's fans went berserk; in fact, Sallu bhai had to finally flex his muscles and push his fans away in order to protect Sonakshi.

His bodyguards even got in a brawl with the public, but fortunately no one was hurt.

But Sallu fans should not be surprised. This is not the first time the star's fans have gone beserk after a glimpse of the muscular Khan.

When he was in Hyderabad a few years ago to promote Veer at Prasadz Multiplex, the crowd jammed the elevator door; five people were injured in the resulting stampede.
