Not a cameo, Salman's role is pivotal to the movie
A source revealed to Mumbai Mirror, "After a six month break which he spent on the (Panvel) farm, Salman is raring to get back on the sets and do what he does best." Initially, the script had Salman in a cameo but now his role is pivotal to the narrative. After holding discussions, the team "has locked a version which can justify Salman's presence."
Salman, Aayush will also collaborate on 'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali'
For the unversed, Aayush, who is Salman's brother-in-law, was last seen in 2018 Bollywood movie Loveyatri. Interestingly, apart from Antim, the duo will also reportedly collaborate on Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, directed by Farhad Samji.
