While filming for Tashan at Ladakh, the otherwise calm Saif Ali Khan got into a scuffle with locals at a restaurant. It all started with fans threatening to get into the restaurant where the actor was lunching with Kareena Kapoor. However, their bodyguards refused to let the locals get near the stars. That's when a bunch of boys started teasing the actors. And all hell broke loose when a bodyguard roughed up a fan for getting out of line and the mob gathered at the restaurant began pelting stones.

In an attempt to pacify the crowd, Saif stepped out. However, by then the mob was not in the mood to listen to the actor. Saif too lost his cool and in no time got involved in a fight. He ended up being abused by the locals. His bodyguard sustained injuries and was later rushed to a nearby clinic. Kareena's bodyguard had to be given four stitches. Eventually, the manager and staff of the restaurant brought the situation under control

Saif Ali Khan

Says a unit member, "It was a scene straight out of a film. Saif got into a scuffle with local hooligans who claimed to be their fans. When Saif and Kareena refused to meet them, they created major chaos. Saif was infuriated when they started hurling abuses at them."

After the dispute, the security for the cast and crew members was beefed up. Director Vijay Krishna Acharya also urged the actors - Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar and Anil Kapoor - not to loiter around the locations where they were filming.

Adds another unit member, "We never expected the crowds to go berserk. Whenever we are shooting outdoors the actors' security is our topmost priority. And yes, we have never seen Saif getting so angry."
