Salman Khan’s brother-in-law Aayush Sharma's and Warina Hussain's upcoming film Loveratri’s promotions are in full swing. The lead actors were in Vadodara recently and were seen taking a bike ride on the streets of the city. However, the Vadodara traffic police played spoilsport to their euphoric promotions by fining them for not wearing helmets while riding a bike. Fans flocked to see the actors and this created a ruckus in the city. The actors were fined Rs 100 each as the penalty for riding without helmets.
A leading daily reported that the Vadodara Police arrived late in the night at their hotel to issue the memos to the young actors. Assistant Commissioner of Police (traffic) Amita Vanani told the daily, “We sent cops to issue a memo to both the actors at their hotel. They are celebrities and hence they should understand their responsibilities and follow traffic laws.”

Apparently, the photos of Aayush and Warina flooded social media and went viral with messages that forced the police to take actions.
Loveratri is being produced by Salman Khan and the trailer that was launched a few days back has already generated quite a buzz among the audience. The film is set in Gujarat against the backdrop of the popular Hindu festival Navratri. Aayush plays a garba teacher from Vadodara in the film. He falls in love with Warina who visits the town during the joyous festival. The only catch is that she would have to eventually leave once the festival ends.
Apparently, Salman was pissed off with Aayush previously because he was not green-lighting any project for his debut film. Elaborating his displeasure with Aayush, the Race 3 actor said, “When Abhiraj and Aayush heard the story, they agreed to do the film. Before that, I was getting kind of pissed off with him Aayush because I sent him about 9-10 scripts but he didn’t like those. After hearing this Loveratri script, he told me that I see myself playing this character, while I didn’t see myself playing those characters… So, that’s how we moved ahead with this film.”
Loveratri releases on October 5, 2018.
