A few Tamil people staged protest against Salman Khan in front of the Bollywood superstar’s residence here Sunday for supporting Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa. Some Tamils are upset with the ‘Wanted’ star, who recently visited Sri Lanka to campaign for Rajapaksa, ahead of the presidential election in the island-country. Security has been increased outside Salman’s Galaxy apartment because of the protest, which began Sunday morning from around 10 a.m.

A protestor told reporters that the demonstration was to oppose Salman’s move to campaign for Mr. Rajapaksa as the Sri Lankan Army and its President were allegedly responsible for killing Tamilians during the nation’s 26-year-old civil war. 

Salman was present in Sri Lanka along with his ‘Kick’ co-star Jacqueline Fernandez, who is a former Sri Lankan beauty queen.
