Bhubaneswar: The shooting down of Maharashtra politician and senior NCP leader Baba Siddique on October 13 had cast a shadow on the Singham Again arch lights flashing on Salman Khan aka Chulbul Pandey for grave security reasons.
When the jailed top criminal had issued an open threat to Salman Khan for the so called 1998 black-buck hunting case after gunning down senior NCP legislator Baba Siddique, and the Lawraence Bishnoi gang openly claiming the responsibility and linking the Siddique shoot out to Salman Khan’s black Buck case, B-town gossip had been that the cameo of Chulbul Pandey aka Dabaang Salman Khan will not face the arch lights of Singham Again, given that the film will be releasing on November 1.
However, the ‘Wanted’ Star is known for macho, fearless image in Bollywood. The dialogue of Salman Khan in the film Wanted where he is seen saying “Ek Baar Jo Maine Commitment Kar Di Toh Main Aap ki bhi Nahi Sunta..” is trending in the B-Town.
Breaking the news that Super star Salman Khan cameo for the film Singham Again will be shot at soon, noted trade expert Taran Adarsh wrote in social media X, “THE SHOW MUST GO ON... SALMAN STANDS BY HIS COMMITMENT TO AJAY, ROHIT... SHOOTS FOR 'SINGHAM AGAIN'... IT’S OFFICIAL.” He added, "Salman Khan Returns as Chulbul Pandey, making a dhamakedar cameo in Rohit Shetty'sSingham Again."
Trade expert Taran Adarsh then in jest quoted the famous dialogue from Bhaijan treasure trove film Wanted – “Ek baar jo maine commitment kardi, uske baad toh main khud ki bhi nahi sunta.” And then writes, “This iconic dialogue by Salman Khan proves true for friends Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn.
