Get ready for a special surprise in Sunny Deol‘s next film. The actor has lined up some exciting projects after the massive success of Gadar 2 in 2023 and Jaat in 2025. While his Republic Day release Border 2 is highly anticipated, another film called Gabru has an ace up its sleeve that has been kept carefully under wraps until now. Superstar Salman Khan has an extended special appearance in this emotional drama, and it is going to be one of the biggest highlights of the film.
Salman Shot The Film Over A Year Ago
Gabru is directed by Shashank Udapurkar and produced by Vishal Rana. When the makers were developing the script, there was a requirement for a star cameo that would add emotional weight and entertainment value to the story. The team knew that Salman Khan would be the perfect fit for this part. When they approached him with the role, Salman loved what the character brought to the film and immediately agreed to be part of it.
The best part is that Salman shot his scenes more than a year ago in complete secrecy. Nobody in the industry or media knew about this cameo, which makes the revelation even more exciting for fans. The scenes have shaped up beautifully, and the makers are confident that audiences will love what Salman brings to Gabru.
Three Heartwarming And Entertaining Scenes
Salman Khan’s role in Gabru is not just a blink-and-miss appearance. He has three complete scenes in the film, making it an extended special appearance rather than a quick cameo. The scenes are reportedly adorable and full of heart, perfectly fitting the emotional drama tone of the movie. At the same time, they are highly entertaining, showcasing Salman’s natural charm and screen presence.
The combination of emotional depth and entertainment value in Salman’s scenes is expected to be a major crowd-pleaser. These three sequences will reportedly add a beautiful layer to the overall narrative of Gabru.
A Rare Onscreen Reunion
What makes this cameo even more special is the friendship between Salman Khan and Sunny Deol. The two superstars have been very close for years, but they have worked together only once before in the 1996 film Jeet. They were also both part of the 2008 war film Heroes, but they never shared screen space in that movie. This means Gabru marks a rare onscreen reunion between these two powerhouse actors after almost three decades.
This close friendship reportedly gave Salman another reason to sign on for the cameo. When your friend is making a film and you can add value to it, saying yes becomes even easier.
Salman’s Busy 2026 Schedule
The first half of 2026 is shaping up to be very exciting for Salman Khan fans. Apart from Gabru, which releases on March 13, 2026, Salman will also appear in another special cameo in Raja Shivaji. That film stars Riteish Deshmukh as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, while Salman will play the role of Jiva Mahala, one of the Maharaj’s most trusted warriors. Raja Shivaji is scheduled to release on May 1, 2026.
Additionally, Salman will be seen in a lead role in the much-awaited war film Battle of Galwan, which is also expected to release in the first half of 2026.
