The world of Bollywood is buzzing with excitement as superstar Salman Khan is shooting for his much-anticipated cameo in the upcoming action thriller, Singham Again. The shoot is taking place today, October 22, 2024, in Mumbai. Fans of both Salman Khan and the celebrated Singham franchise, directed by Rohit Shetty and headlined by Ajay Devgn, are eagerly waiting to see the beloved character Chulbul Pandey from Dabangg make a surprising appearance in this blockbuster.
A Cameo for Friends: Salman Stays True to His Word
Salman Khan’s decision to do a cameo appearance in Singham Again is a gesture towards his long-time friends, Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty. Amid the ongoing controversies surrounding the star, reports had surfaced suggesting that his cameo might be canceled, leading to disappointment among his fans. However, much to everyone’s relief, a reliable source has confirmed that Salman Khan is indeed fulfilling his commitment and is currently on set, filming his part in Mumbai.
Despite the numerous challenges Salman has faced in his personal life, he has proven to be a man of his word. A source close to the project revealed, “Salman Khan has always been known for standing by his commitments, especially for his friends. Even with the tribulations he is dealing with, he made it a point to shoot for Singham Again. This cameo is a promise he made to Ajay and Rohit, and he’s ensuring it is kept.”
Behind the Scenes: The Grand Prep for Salman Khan
According to sources, the entire crew has been eagerly anticipating Salman’s presence on set. It was earlier shared that the superstar had allocated a single day to shoot his sequence, and director Rohit Shetty had meticulously planned and prepped for this special day. The collaboration between Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn, and Salman Khan holds a special place in Bollywood, given the camaraderie they share, both on-screen and off-screen.
A source further elaborated on the emotional element that drove Salman to take on this role. “Rohit met Salman Khan recently and spoke to him about the grand plans to welcome him to the Singham universe. Salman listened attentively and said, ‘It’s you and Ajay. You are brothers. That’s enough of a reason for me to do the cameo.’ This shows the depth of the bond they share, and the entire unit is charged up with this newest addition to the Singham Again cast,” the source said.
Chulbul Pandey Joins the Cop Universe
Salman Khan will be seen reprising his iconic character, Chulbul Pandey, from the Dabangg series.

According to the source, “Only Rohit Shetty could pull off such a mega-crossover, something that Indian cinema lovers have been asking for, for the longest time. This glimpse will surely leave fans asking for more.”

The brief appearance in this film is only a teaser, paving the way for Chulbul Pandey to become a larger part of the cop universe down the line. “Chulbul Pandey might be the newest addition to the cop universe this time with a small glimpse, but there are plans to have him in a full-fledged role in the future,” the source added. This revelation has sparked speculation among fans, who are now eager to see how Rohit Shetty will incorporate Chulbul Pandey into future installments of the franchise.
The Exciting Cast of Singham Again
Singham Again marks the fifth installment in the much-loved Singham franchise, with Ajay Devgn once again donning the role of the fearless cop Bajirao Singham.
