Salman Khan’s appearance in Raja Shivaji causes fans to respond.
Fans have long conjectured that Salman would play Jiva Mahala in the Riteish Deshmukh film, despite the fact that his appearance had been kept under wraps for months. Fan pages have posted videos of Salman making a spectacular entrance while wearing an orange turban and kurta, sword in hand, and standing next to Riteish, who plays Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the movie.
The internet was quick to react to the superstar’s massy entry. One X user wrote, “Cameo aisa ki puri movie ek taraf, aur Bhai ki entry ek taraf. King of Bollywood for a reason!” (The entire film on one side, and Bhai’s entry on the other). Another commented, “I think Salman has record for most cameos in Bollywood.” A fan also wrote, “VEER ki yad aa gai,” while another added, “Wow that’s a surprise.”
How Salman joined Raja Shivaji
Salman personally indicated interest in joining Raja Shivaji, as Riteish had previously disclosed. Riteish recalled a chat at a New Year’s party in which Salman asked him casually about the film’s shooting schedule before enquiring about the role he would be playing. “No, no, no, you can’t make the film without me, I have to be in it,” the celebrity said when Riteish informed him that he had not yet been given a role.
Riteish went on to say that Salman was eventually given a part in the historical drama because of his warmth and emotional attachment to the movie.
