It is a well-known fact that Salman Khan and Riteish Deshmukh share a deep friendship built over years of cordial relations. Obviously, Khan has always supported Riteish’s ventures both personally and professionally with genuine affection. Amidst all the speculation, IHNS has exclusively confirmed that Salman Khan will be seen in a cameo in Riteish Deshmukh’s historical epic Raja Shivaji. Although this sequence is brief, it is said to be emotionally impactful and important to the film’s story. According to our sources, Salman Khan has allotted 2 days between November 8 to 14 to shoot his cameo.
A source close to the project revealed, “Salman Khan has always had a good rapport with Riteish Deshmukh and when Riteish approached him for a special role in Raja Shivaji, Salman immediately agreed.”
“Between the shooting of Bigg Boss 19 and the shooting of the Battle of Galwan, he has allotted 2 days for the cameo between November 8 and November 14. Salman is the perfect choice for the part as his presence will add to the star power. He has previously done memorable cameos in Riteish’s films like Lai Bhaari and Ved, and every time, the audience has loved their collaboration. This time too, the makers are planning to do something equally impressive.”
For those unaware, Salman Khan will play the role of Jeeva Mahala, one of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s most loyal, brave warriors in Raja Shivaji. Hopefully her strong screen presence will bring this iconic character to life. He was a trusted bodyguard and commander in the army of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
