Salman Khan’s cameo in Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again has THIS similarity with Hrithik Roshan’s epic cameo in Salman-starrer Tiger 3

There was a lot of jubilation when it came to light that superstar Salman Khan will reprise the much-loved character of Chulbul Pandey from Dabangg in Singham Again, the big Diwali release of the year. But after Baba Siddique’s shocking demise on October 12, things went for a toss due to the threat looming over the superstar. On October 21, it was reported that Salman’s cameo in Singham Again had been dropped, disheartening fans who were looking forward to his entry in the exciting Cop Universe. But yesterday, fans got a surprise when Salman secretly and suddenly shot for the special appearance in Mumbai.

Interestingly, Singham Again has already been submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) a few days back. It made many people wonder whether a filmmaker can add a scene when the censor process is already going on. An industry source explained to Bollywood Hungama, “There’s no problem here. The certificate is expected to be granted to Singham Again makers in a few days. Then, the makers can re-approach the CBFC, informing them of the additional footage and requesting them to pass the same.”

The source explained, “The duration on the censor certificate will still mention the original run time of Singham Again, that is, without Salman Khan’s cameo. The CBFC will hand over them an additional certificate, informing them that the said sequence has been passed by them.”

Interestingly, this episode has a resemblance to last year’s Diwali release, Tiger 3, starring Salman Khan. Its censor process was completed on October 27, 2023. The makers, Yash Raj Films (YRF), shot the cameo of Hrithik Roshan on November 4. As a result, YRF had to once again request CBFC to pass the additional scene. The CBFC did so on November 6. Just like how Hrithik’s cameo appeared towards the end of Tiger 3, Salman’s epic cameo in Singham Again is also expected to be shown as a mid or post-credit sequence.

The source also said, “As per the CBFC rules, the makers need to approach them not just when they add a scene but also when they reduce any scene.” In recent times, the makers of Devara, starring Jr NTR, Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor, knocked on the doors of the CBFC when they voluntarily cut nearly 7 minutes from the final version of the film.

Yash confirms portrayal of Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana; says, “I really like the shades and the nuances of particular character”

Several reports had claimed that Yash declined the role of Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana. However, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Yash broke his silence, confirming that he will indeed portray Ravana in the film, which also features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita. Yash added that Ravana is likely the only character he would consider playing in the epic.

In the interview, Yash shared that his first introduction to Ramayana came during a conversation with Namit Malhotra of DNEG and Prime Focus. Yash was impressed by Namit’s passion, and their perspectives on the project aligned with his vision. Namit then asked if Yash would be interested in playing the role of Ravana in the film.

Yash said, “If the character is treated like a character… if this doesn’t happen today, then the film won’t happen. To make a film with that kind of budget, you need those kind of actors to come together and work for the project. It has to be beyond yourself and your stardom. We have to place the project and the vision first.” He added that the conversation progressed and he chose to co-produce the picture.

He added, “It’s a very fascinating character. I wouldn’t have done it for any other reason. In Ramayana, if you had asked me, ‘Would you play any other character?’ Probably not. For me, Ravana is the most exciting character to play as an actor so I really like the shades and the nuances of particular character. There’s vast scope to present it in a very different way. As an actor, I am very excited. Hopefully, it’s going to be a very unique approach to it.”

Pre-production for Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana is reportedly in full swing. Earlier this year, a leaked photo from the set, showing Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi in costume, went viral on social media. Though the team has yet to make an official announcement, the film has been generating strong buzz for some time. The makers are targeting a 2025 release.

SCOOP: Singham Again vs Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 show sharing war heats up: T Series approaches Competition Commission of India; alleges arm-twisting of exhibitors by makers of Ajay Devgn starrer

Less than 10 days are left for the biggest clash of the year at the box office, between Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. There were fears that the fight over show sharing would get very ugly and the fears have proved to be true. In a dramatic development, T-Series, the producers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, have approached the Competition Commission of India, alleging unfair practices on the part of Singham Again makers.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Singham Again is distributed by PVR Pictures and hence, more than 60% of the shows in PVR Inox will be allotted to it. On top of it, they have also asked certain single-screen theatres that they want all shows for their film. They have allowed some single screens to play Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, with the condition that the horror comedy should be given only one show, that too in the early morning slot.”

The source continued, “Hence, T Series decided to approach the Competition Commission of India. Their demand is that both films should get 50% show sharing.”

Interestingly, Singham Again stars Ajay Devgn and it was he who had similarly approached the Competition Commission of India in 2012 when his film Son Of Sardaar failed to get adequate shows during the clash with Jab Tak Hai Jaan on Diwali.

Apart from Ajay Devgn, Singham Again also stars Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor and Jackie Shroff. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, meanwhile, features Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri. Both films arrive on Diwali, that is, November 1.
