Singham Again: Salman Khan will not make a cameo in Ajay Devgn starrer due to ongoing death threats – here’s the latest information.
The news of Salman Khan’s cameo in Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again generated a lot of excitement on the internet. Pinkvilla was the first to announce that the superstar would be making a special appearance in the film for his friends, Rohit and Ajay. However, a recent report suggests that due to ongoing death threats to Salman Khan, the makers have decided to drop his cameo.
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Salman Khan’s one-day shoot was scheduled to take place at Golden Tobacco in Mumbai. However, after the unfortunate demise of Baba Siddique, the shoot had to be canceled.
“Rohit and Ajay then had discussions internally and felt that it would be insensitive to request Salman Khan to shoot amid all the controversy,” a source close to the development shared with the publication. The report further added that the duo was racing against time to submit their film to the censors and decided to submit it without Salman Khan’s appearance.
The source revealed that there are chances of showing a back shot of Chulbul Pandey in the post-credit scene, but it is uncertain if it will make it to the final cut.
“Shooting with Salman, just a day or two after the death of Baba Siddique was insensitive. And Rohit had to submit Singham Again to the censors by Friday – October 18. That’s when they took the tough call to move on and respect the privacy of Salman Khan,” the source was quoted as saying.
Previously, a reliable source had mentioned that Salman Khan had allocated one day to shoot for the sequence, and Rohit Shetty had started preparing for it. “It’s a mega-collaboration, and the newest addition to his fabled cop-universe is Chulbul Pandey. While Singham Again will have a small glimpse of Chulbul Pandey, the future timeline of Rohit’s cop universe will definitely feature him in a full-fledged avatar,” the source had said.
The cop-drama movie led by Ajay Devgn features a star-studded cast including Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Jackie Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor in important roles. The fifth installment of the beloved franchise is set to release on Diwali, i.e. November 1, 2024.
