Ajay Devgn’sย Singham Againย is set to release on Diwali 2024. Ahead of its release, rumours regarding Salman Khan’s cameo in the film began circulating online. Media reports claimed that Salman would be reprising hisย Dabanggย character, Chulbul Pandey, in Rohit Shetty’s cop universe film. Bollywood trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh has refuted these speculations, labelling the rumours as โfalse news.โ Sharing an elaborate note on Instagram, he wrote, โCHULBUL PANDEY IN โSINGHAM AGAIN’? FALSE NEWS… It seems the rumour mills are working overtime… Speculation is rife that Salman Khan’s iconic character, ChulbulPandey, will be making an appearance in Singham Again. Let’s stick to the facts: Singham Again will not feature Salman Khan/Chulbul Pandey.โย
Taran Adarsh also mentioned that Salman Khan will have a cameo in Varun Dhawan’s Baby John. He added, โDear Bhai fans, Salman will light up the screen with a special cameo in Baby John [Christmas 2024], starring Varun Dhawan, followed by the larger-than-life avatar in Sikandar [Eid 2025].โย
Singham Again will see Ajay Devgn reprising his role as the fearless cop, DCP Bajirao Singham. Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and Tiger Shroff will also feature in the movie.
