Shah Rukh Khan shocked party-goers at Sanjay Dutt’s party for Agneepath at Aurus nightclub in Mumbai, last week, when eyewitnesses claim he walked up to director, Shirish Kunder, and started punching him until Dutt dragged his pal away.

And sources claim the Ra.One star was "inebriated" when he rocked up at the club at 4.30am, following the Filmfare awards, and made a beeline for Kunder along with three bodyguards.

"We didn’t know what was going on," spilled a party-goer. "We saw SRK enter. Then we saw him head towards Shirish from behind and pull him down to the ground by his hair." Adding, "We were all shocked." Whilst another confided, "We have never seen SRK behave this way before."

And after the star told club owner, Baba Dewan, to back off, after he attempted to pull the star away, it was left up to Sanjay Dutt to step in and split the pair, leaving the actor accused of having hit Shirish too – something he denies, insisting, "I didn’t join in the fight. I sorted out the fight."
