Salman Khan has returned as fan-favorite character Chulbul Pandey in Ajay Devgn's Singham Again. Inspector Chulbul Pandey, from the Dabangg franchise, enters Rohit Shetty's Cop Universe and makes a special appearance in the post-credit scenes. Salman Khan's 13-second cameo was included to announce the upcoming project, Mission Chulbul Singham. Salman's cameo has become the talking point of the film. While many fans praised the crossover, another section of netizens slammed the short cameo. A few also stated that Salman's iconic character was wasted in Singham Again.
Was the original cameo of Salman Khan scrapped?
According to media reports, Salman initially planned to film an extended cameo, including a scene full of action in the climax. If the reports are to be believed, the actor allegedly refused to go out and shoot. There could also be reasons related to his security behind this. This is the reason why Salman's character was shortened in the film.
In October, Salman lost his dear friend politician Baba Siddique in a brutal murder. Baba was gunned down in Bandra, Mumbai, and jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi took responsibility for the heinous crime. Ever since Baba's demise, Salman's security has been increased with more bodyguards protecting him. As per the reports, this could be a reason why Salman shot such a short cameo.
