Actor Salman Khan will be seen in an extended special appearance in Sunny Deol’s ‘Gabru’. The film is directed by Shashank Udapurkar and produced by Vishal Rana.
A report by Bollywood Hungama quoting a source mentioned, “There was a requirement of a star and the makers knew that Salman Khan fit the bill completely. Salman was approached and he loved the part and its contribution to the film. He quietly shot the film more than a year ago and it has shaped up well.”
“Salman Khan’s cameo in Gabru is all heart. It is adorable and also highly entertaining. He has 3 scenes in total and hence, it’s an extended special appearance. Interestingly, both Salman Khan and Sunny Deol are very close, but they have worked together only once, in Jeet (1996). They were also a part of Heroes (2008) but they never shared screen space in the war film. This also gave Salman another reason to sign ‘Gabru’, the source added.
The 59-year-old was last seen in AR Murugadoss’s action-drama ‘Sikandar’ (2025). The movie also featured Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, Satyadev Kancharana and Boman Irani in key roles.
The actor is next set to feature in ‘Battle of Galwan’, directed by Apoorva Lakhia. He will portray the role of Colonel B Santosh Babu, an Army officer in the movie based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops. It also features Chitrangada Singh in a key role. Although rumours circulated about Amitabh Bachchan joining the cast, the director has confirmed he is not involved. The production is currently underway and is slated for a 2026 release.
Additionally, Salman is slated to star in ‘Kick 2’ alongside producer Sajid Nadiadwala. The movie is a sequel to the 2014 action film, which featured Jacqueline Fernandez and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
