Salman Khan is the latest in a list of Bollywood actors stretching back five decades to have faced court proceedings and arrest.
Long before a non-bailable warrant was issued for Salman by a court in Jodhpur in connection with his conviction in a poaching case, actor Balraj Sahni was arrested in 1951 for his Leftist leanings while working in K Asif's Hulchul.
Asif had to take special permission from court to bring Sahni for the shooting under police escort. However, he was released soon after.
More recently, Monica Bedi served 5 years in jail after she was charged with cheating, criminal conspiracy and impersonation while securing a fake passport.
After spending time behind bars in Portugal and India, she walked free on July 25 when she was released from Hyderabad's Chanchalguda jail.
On July 31, Sanjay Dutt was given a 6-year jail term in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case by a TADA court for illegally possessing a 9mm pistol and an AK-56 rifle.
After spending 23 days in Pune's Yeravada Jail, Dutt was released on Thursday after the Supreme Court granted him interim bail on August 20.
Dutt earlier spent 16 months in jail in two spells during the 13-year trial of the case related to the Mumbai blasts.
Salman's arrest is imminent, with police saying they would execute the arrest warrant in the poaching case, in which stars Saif Ali Khan, Satish Shah, Tabu, Sonali Bhendre and Neelam Kothari have been acquitted.
