While the stage is set for an exciting clash between ‘Singham Again’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyya 3′, releasing on Diwali this year, it seems the former has now one-upped the Karthik Aryan-starrer. Another addition to the mix is ’Singham Again’ which has a galaxy of Bollywood stars, most of whom play supercops.
The thing is that the Rohit Shetty-directed ‘Singham Again’ will also feature Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in a small role in the film portraying the character of OG supercop, Chulbul Pandey.
Although not from the Rohit Shetty cop universe, Chulbul Pandey is a popular character in Hindi cinema, and was first seen in ‘Dabangg’ directed by Abhinav Kashyap, brother of independent cinema’s poster boy, Anurag Kashyap.
Chulbul Pandey is a corrupt cop but his heart is in the right place. Salman later reprized the role of Chulbul Pandey in ‘Dabangg 2’ and ‘Dabangg 3’, however, Abhinav exited the franchise after the first part. ‘Dabangg’ also debuted actress Sonakshi Sinha, who married actor Zaheer Iqbal in June this year.
Salman Khan’s involvement as Chulbul Pandey adds an interesting layer to the narrative. This unexpected crossover not only marks the first time these two iconic characters of Bajirao Singham and Chulbul Pandey will share the screen, but also promises to bring an electrifying dynamic to the Singham franchise.
Rohit Shetty, known for his thrilling action sequences and captivating storytelling, promises to deliver another blockbuster with this film. The addition of Salman Khan to the cast is set to raise the stakes, making for an unforgettable cinematic experience for fans of both the Bollywood stars.
Salman, for his part, has kept a low-profile since the murder of his close friend, politician Baba Siddique, who is claimed to have been murdered by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
