Mumbai: Salman Khan’s cameo in Rohit Shetty’s multi-starrer cop flick ‘Singham Again’ has sparked a wave of excitement among fans.
Speculation is rife that Salman will appear as his iconic ‘Dabangg’ cop character Chulbul Pandey in ‘Singham Again’ as well.
Amidst the excitement and anticipation, an old video of Rohit Shetty has surfaced in which the filmmaker is heard saying that he drew inspiration from Salman for making the ‘Singham’ franchise.
“I’ll tell you what. I made Singham because of Wanted. That was a phase when multiplex had come in. It was 2009, I was making All The Best. PVR had just opened up. And that time nobody was making mass action films. And Wanted was one underdog which came. I was like, the time has come back to make mass entertainer because even, abhi multiplex mein bhi seetiya aur taali bajne lagi hain. And in then, we made Singham in 2011,” said the filmmaker.
