Actor Sanjay Dutt pushed around a fan who, with a friend, insisted on taking cellphone photos of the star in the parking area of Juhu’s J.W. Marriot hotel, eyewitnesses said. No injuries were reported and no police complaint was filed by either Dutt or the man who was attacked.

There were many eyewitnesses but Dutt — known for his hot temper — denied any brawl. ‘‘Nothing like that ever happened,’’ he said. The hotel also denied the incident.

The incident happened around 2 am. Dutt had dropped by at the Marriot’s nightclub, Enigma, to meet Salman Khan, who was with the people working on Marigold, Khan’s Hollywood project.

After spending 15 minutes with Khan, Dutt was about to leave for home when two men, ‘‘corporate types’’, in the words of one eyewitness, insisted on taking photos with their cellphone cameras. The men even asked Dutt to pose with his Landcruiser.

Dutt, a few drinks down, refused. ‘‘But these men went on trying to take photos, so Sanjay started beating one of them and flung his cellphone,’’ an eyewitness said. Dutt then drove away.
