The highly anticipated box office clash between Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has sparked excitement among fans. Both films are set to release during Diwali, making it one of the most talked-about cinematic face-offs of the year. Kartik Aaryan’s horror-comedy franchise had reserved the Diwali slot over a year ago, but the stakes were raised when Singham Again was postponed from its initial Independence Day release to the same festive period.
As tension builds over which film will come out on top, a new casting rumor has stirred up discussions—and it might just tip the scales in favor of Singham Again.
Salman Khan to Appear as Chulbul Pandey?
The Singham series already boasts a star-studded cast, with Ajay Devgn reprising his role as Bajirao Singham, alongside big names like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, and Arjun Kapoor. However, recent reports suggest that Bollywood’s “Bhaijaan” Salman Khan may also make a cameo as Chulbul Pandey, his iconic character from the Dabangg franchise. This rumor has sent fans into a frenzy, with many taking to social media to express their excitement—or concern.
Fans React: Is This Bad News for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3?
As soon as the speculation surfaced, social media erupted. While some fans were thrilled at the prospect of seeing Salman Khan join the Singham universe, others pointed out that it could spell trouble for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, led by Kartik Aaryan. One fan tweeted, “Did I just read that Salman Khan is joining the Cop Universe? Ye toh Rooh Baba ke andar ki atma nikal denge! #SinghamAgain #SalmanKhan.”
The excitement over Salman’s possible entry into Rohit Shetty’s cop universe is palpable. A fan posted, “SALMAN KHAN yeh naam kaafi hai theatre full aur clash win karne ke liye ,” while another shared a more cautious reaction: “If this rumor about #SalmanKhan joining #SinghamAgain is true, then this could truly become one of Bollywood’s biggest films. But I’ll wait for official confirmation before getting too excited. Bad news for #BhoolBhulaiyaa3, though. #BoxOffice.”
What’s at Stake for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3?
While Salman Khan’s star power could give Singham Again an edge, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 also has its own strengths. Kartik Aaryan has become a box office favorite, especially after the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. The third installment also features celebrated actors like Vidya Balan, Triptii Dimri, and Madhuri Dixit, which could appeal to fans of the supernatural-comedy genre.
Both films cater to different audience tastes—Singham Again is likely to attract action-lovers, while Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will draw those who enjoy horror-comedy. Still, Salman’s cameo might push more viewers toward the action-packed spectacle, potentially affecting Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’s box office performance.
