Salman Khan and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra had a heated spat in Spain?

In the inaugural episode of Bigg Boss, Salman Khan pointed to a picture of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and called him Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, before quickly correcting himself. While it looked like Salman had made the gaffe for comic relief, there seems to be more to his and Rakeysh's story than meets the eye.

At an international awards event that took place in Spain in June, the two apparently had a violent altercation. Says an eyewitness, "Salman Khan and Rakeysh Mehra fought over some issue. The argument became heated and soon turned ugly. So much so that the two had to be separated by mutual friends."

While the gentle mannered Rakeysh getting this flared up is a rare occurrence, the root cause of the issue between the two is still unknown. Your guess is as good as ours.
