Antim: Salman Khan’s role gets extended, the actor shoots for additional scenes?

Salman Khan will next be seen on the big screen in Mahesh Manjrekar’s Antim: The Final Truth. There have been multiple reports about his screen time in the film. Earlier, it was said that he is just doing an extended cameo in the movie, but later there were reports that he will be seen as a parallel lead.

Now, according to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the actor recently shot a few additional scenes and his role is extended in the movie.


A source told the portal, “After watching the film in post-production, Salman Khan felt that there’s a requirement to add more scenes featuring him. Also, now that the film is releasing in cinemas, he felt that it was important to extend his role a bit to satisfy his fans who’ll come to the cinemas majorly for him.”

Another source told Bollywood Hungama, “He shot for the film for 3 days and wrapped up the shoot yesterday, that is, Wednesday, October 6. The filming took place in Mumbai and it is said that some of the scenes were set in a police station. This three-day schedule probably increased the role of Salman by 5-10 minutes in the movie.”

Antim: The Final Truth stars Aayush Sharma in the lead role. The movie is a remake of the Marathi film Mulshi Pattern.

Reportedly, the film might hit the big screens on Diwali this year, but there’s no official announcement about it yet.

How Southeast Asian storytelling became one of Netflix’s fastest-growing global pillars

Highlights:

  • Netflix says global viewing of Southeast Asian titles rose almost 50% between 2023 and 2024.
  • Premium VOD revenue in the region reached £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore) last year, with 53.6 million subscriptions.
  • Netflix holds more than half of the region’s total viewing and remains its biggest investor in originals.
  • New rivals, including Max, Viu and Vidio, are forcing sharper competition.
  • Local jobs, training and tourism are increasing as productions expand across the region.

Last year, something shifted in what the world watched. Global viewership of Southeast Asian content on Netflix grew by nearly 50%, and this isn't just a corporate milestone; it’s a signal. Stories from Jakarta, Bangkok, and Manila are no longer regional curiosities. They are now part of the global mainstream.

The numbers tell a clear story. Over 100 Southeast Asian titles have now entered Netflix’s Global Top 10 lists. More than 40 of those broke through in 2024 alone. This surge is part of a bigger boom in the region’s own backyard. The total premium video-on-demand market in Southeast Asia saw viewership hit 440 billion minutes in 2024, with revenues up 14% to £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore). Netflix commands over half of that viewership and 42% of the revenue. They have a clear lead, but the entire market is rising.
