Salman Khan is set to bring back his iconic Chulbul Pandey character in the upcoming film Singham Again. This rumour came out couple of weeks back and then was refuted later. But it’s now finally confirmed.
Rohit Shetty has brought in the biggest ensemble of Indian Cinema, by getting together Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, and Jackie Shroff in the same film. Singham Again has got even bigger, as Rohit Shetty has got in Salman Khan to play a special role in the film.
Salman Khan To Make A Small Appearance In Singham Again
Sources have confirmed that Salman Khan will be making a special appearance in Singham Again. According to inside sources, director Rohit Shetty personally approached Salman for the cameo, and the actor agreed without any hesitation. One source revealed, “Salman agreed instantly and wrapped up his part quickly.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Bollywood actors crossover with their famous characters. Salman’s Dabangg character is just the latest to join the trend, following his role as Tiger in Pathaan alongside Shah Rukh Khan, and Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya saving Shraddha Kapoor in Stree 2. These crossovers are giving fans a whole new level of excitement.
According to sources close to the development, Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn will be shooting with Salman Khan in the next 10 days, as the superstar has agreed to do a special cameo in Singham Again for friends, Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn. “It’s one of the biggest crossovers of all time, as after years of wait, Salman Khan as Chulbul Pandey will finally meet Ajay Devgn as Bajirao Singham in the third Singham film. It’s not an extended appearance like Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff, but Shetty is sure to tease the audience with a glimpse of Bajirao Singham and Chulbul Pandey in the same frame. It’s only Rohit Shetty, who could pull off this mega-crossover, that Indian Cinema lovers had been asking for the longest time,” revealed a source close to the development.
The source further added that Salman Khan has allotted one day to shoot for the sequence, and Rohit Shetty has already started prep for the same. “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 added.
Rohit and the team are excited to welcome Chulbul Pandey to the cop universe. “Rohit met Salman Khan recently, and spoke to him about the grand plans in place to welcome him. Salman heard it out and said, ‘It’s you and Ajay. You are brothers. That’s enough for a reason for me to do the cameo,’. The unit is all charged up with this newest addition to Singham Again. The meeting took place 3 days back on the sets of Salman’s Eid 2025 release, Sikandar,” the source concluded.
The crossover of Singham and Chulbul Pandey has been making rounds for the last decade, and the same is finally set to happen during the Diwali 2024 weekend. It will be a small glimpse in end credit of Salman Khan. A source said, “Salman Khan wants to keep his look of Sikandar under the wraps and it doesn’t go along the lines of Chulbul Pandey. So Rohit Shetty can tease audience with a back shot of Salman or glimpse of side profile.”
About Singham Again
Singham Again is scheduled to hit theatres this Diwali, even though some concerns were raised about it clashing with Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Kartik reportedly requested Rohit Shetty to delay Singham Again’s release to avoid competing at the box office, but Rohit has decided to stick to the Diwali release. Now, with Salman Khan confirmed to appear, the Diwali box office face-off just got even bigger.
The film already boasts a star-studded lineup featuring Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, and Deepika Padukone. Salman’s Chulbul Pandey joining the mix makes this cop-universe crossover even more exciting.
