Actor Salman Khan will finally appear in Rohit Shetty’s Diwali release, Singham Again, this year. After various reports suggested that his cameo in the film has been removed for several reasons, it seems like he’s again on board to shoot a fresh post-credit sequence with Ajay Devgn, who’s reprising his role of Bajirao Singham in the film.

A report published in Pinkvilla revealed that Ajay and Salman are shooting for this special scene in the Filmcity today, on October 22, Tuesday. Chulbul Pandey from Dabangg is considered one of Salman’s iconic on-screen roles, and this crossover is going to add more value to Rohit’s cop-universe.

The report quoted a source close to the actor as saying, “Rohit met Salman Khan recently, and spoke to him about the grand plans in place to welcome him. Salman heard it and said, ‘It’s you and Ajay. You are brothers. That’s enough of a reason for me to do the cameo’. The unit is all charged up with this newest addition to Singham Again.”

Meanwhile, Salman has been absolutely true to his commitments so far. The actor also resumed shooting for his upcoming film, Sikandar, today. A source close to the production exclusively told India Today that the actor has been fulfilling his work commitments as planned.

The source said, “Salman Khan is fully committed to his work. He has been shooting for Bigg Boss 18 with high-level security, and has now moved to shooting Sikandar. His entire team is being careful about the security arrangements and Salman himself has been making sure that no one suffers a delay because of him,” the source said, adding, “he is likely to be shooting continuously till Diwali, which is next week.”

The superstar is also simultaneously shooting for his reality show, Bigg Boss 18, during the weekends.

Here’s everything you need to know about Salman Khan’s cameo appearance in the Ajay Devgn starrer Singham Again.

We might just witness the multiverse of madness in Bollywood’s cop dramas. We are talking about a rumored cameo of Salman Khan as his Dabangg character Chulbul Pandey in the Ajay Devgn starrer Singham Again. Yes, you heard it right! Speculations are rife that Salman will be seen doing a cameo appearance in the same.

According to a Times Now report, Salman Khan will reprise his iconic character, Chulbul Pandey, in Singham Again. The report further stated that director Rohit Shetty agreed to convince the superstar for the cameo. Furthermore, Salman agreed to this without asking the director any questions.

If this is true, this will be nothing short of a visual extravaganza for the fans. Imagine Bajirao Singham and Chulbul Pandey joining hands to fight the baddies. We can expect some roaring cheers and whistles in the theatre during the same. With this, Salman Khan will also become the second male actor to be a part of both big universes in Bollywood. His character Tiger is an integral part of the YRF spy universe and he will now be a part of Rohit Shetty’s cop universe as Chulbul Pandey. Before him, Akshay Kumar has also been a part of both the universes before Salman. He is already a part of the cop universe with his character Sooryavanshi and has recently joined Maddock’s horror-comedy universe as the descendent of Sarkata in Stree 2.

Meanwhile, there have been many speculations surrounding the release date of Singham Again. It is not a hidden fact that the Ajay Devgn starrer will witness an epic clash with Kartik Aaryan Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 at the box office on November 1. Speculations were rife that Kartik had managed to chat with Rohit Shetty to try to convince him to shift the movie’s release date to November 15. The actor felt this two-week gap would benefit Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again.

However, another report suggested that the makers of Singham Again are going ahead with the November 1 release date. As a result, it will be interesting to see the clash between these two much-awaited entertainers. The news of Salman Khan’s cameo in Singham Again is just the cherry on the cake.

Meanwhile, Rohit Shetty has also managed to pull off a casting coup for Singham Again. In addition to Ajay Devgn, the movie also stars Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and others. The film marks the fifth installment in Rohit Shetty’s cop universe.
