The alleged incident happened in Mumbai's Taj Mahal Palace hotel in February 2012, where the businessmen accused Khan of pushing him and punching him in the face in the Japanese restaurant Wasabi.
"The court today framed charges against Khan and his two friends, Shakeel Ladak and Bilal Amrohi under section 325 (assault) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code," public prosecutor Wajeed Sheikh said, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.
The trio pleaded not guilty after the charges were read out against them in the Mumbai court, PTI said.
The businessman, Iqbal Sharma, said he had only asked the staff to get Khan's table to quieten down, which sparked a heated argument and the alleged assault.
Khan however claimed that Sharma had started the row.
The actor surrendered to police after the brawl and was released on bail.

Charges are framed against both Khan and Sharma. Police should be more vigilant. Court should punish the accuser. This is utter waste of time.
Thanking you! Alann

'Katrina' was not in that group. Period. But that apart, being a Nawab, he is entitled to bash whomever and whereever he pleases.
