Singham Again: Salman Khan’s appearance as Chulbul Pandey dropped due to security concerns
Bollywood Hungama claims that Salman will no longer appear in the movie. Salman has been the target of repeated death threats, which have sparked worries about his safety following Baba Siddique’s murder.
“The one-day shoot was scheduled to take place at Golden Tobacco in Mumbai, however, owing to the sudden demise of Baba Siddiqui, the shoot was cancelled. Rohit and Ajay then had discussions internally and felt that it would be insensitive to request Salman Khan to shoot amid all the controversy. The duo was racing against time to submit their film to the censors, and have decided to submit the film without the appearance of Salman Khan,” a source stated as quoted by Bollywood Hungama.
The insider revealed that the post-credit scene might feature a backshot of Chulbul Pandey. But it’s unclear as of now.
The source continued, “Shooting with Salman, just a day or two after the death of Baba Siddiqui was insensitive. And Rohit had to submit Singham Again to the censors by Friday – October 18. That’s when they took the tough call to move on and respect the privacy of Salman Khan”.
