The last few weeks saw rumors that Salman shot a scene for the film as his cop character, Chulbul Pandey, from Dabangg, fans were thrilled to see this come to fruition on screen after the film’s release. Here’s how they reacted.
‘Sabse bada superstar’
If the clips shared by fans on Sharing a clip, one fan wrote, “Chulbul Pandey is back. Biggest Diwali blast.”
Another fan shared a similar clip in which fans scream ‘Chulbul bhai’, writing, “LATEST: Megastar SALMAN KHAN in #SinghamAgain! Just look at the audience reaction Desh ka sabse bada superstar! (country’s biggest superstar)
One fan thought this was Salman’s Chulbul in ‘supreme form’ given that he now sported a beard along with the character’s trademark moustache, “#SalmanKhan ENTRY in #SinghamAgain this is the power of megastar Salman is in SUPREME FORM as Chulbul.” A fan commented, “Theatre Turn Into Stadium.” Numerous fans also shared clips of Salman’s new look as Chulbul, writing ‘mass’ with fire emojis.
Not everyone was as happy with it, given that Chulbul Pandey only makes a cameo towards the end of the film, setting up things for the next part – Mission Chulbul Singham. “An Iconic Character wasted,” wrote one fan with broken hearted emojis. “Disappointed that they ruined Chulbul’s look and the bgm, they shouldn’t have done it at all,” wrote a fan.
