Salman Khan was in court as a witness in a case involving his movie Chori Chori Chupke Chupke.

Almost nine years after its release, the controversy regarding 2001 release Chori Chori Chupke Chupke still seems to haunt Salman Khan and other members of the cast and crew associated with the film.

Salman was called by the police to appear before a special court of Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act to verify his statement that he previously gave to police regarding the alleged reports that the film was produced with the underworld money.

Salman, who was called to give his statement regarding the fact that Bollywood financer Bharat Shah had allegedly used underworld money to finance the film, said that he had no idea that whether underworld money had been used in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke or whether Bollywood financer Bharat Shah had invested money into the film.

Salman said he was approached by producer Rizvi and assistant producer Abdul Rahim Allahbaksh, who wanted him to do the film. Salman said he made no other inquiry about the film from the producer apart from the usual inquiry about the storyline and the director.

Salman reportedly added that he had even denied being a part of the movie after he came to know that Chori Chori Chupke Chupke was not being directed by a reputed director but changed his mind and agreed to be a part of the project when Abbas-Mustan were roped in to direct the film.

When asked by the court, Salman said that he did not remember meeting a man named Fazlani, who allegedly had underworld links.

While appearing in the court, Salman seems to have indicated that he was not  associated with Chori Chori Chupke Chupke in any way apart from being an actor.
