The buzz around Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again is high. Now, reports are indicating that Salman Khan will not be making a special appearance in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again as Chulbul Pandey amid security concerns.

Chulbul outing axed

According to Bollywood Hungama, Salman will not be part of the film now. The decision comes amidst the ongoing death threats against Salman, which have raised concerns about his safety.

Salman was initially slated to reprise his iconic role as Chulbul Pandey from the Dabangg franchise in a guest appearance in Singham Again. The decision comes after the murder of Baba Siddique.

"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 told Bollywood Hungama.

The insider shared that there is a possibility of a backshot of Chulbul Pandey in the post-credit scene. However, it is not clear yet.

The source added, "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".

Salman had earlier agreed to do a cameo in Singham Again out of his bond with Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty.
