Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has wrapped up shooting for his cameo appearance in Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film Godfather. The much-anticipated film is an official remake of the successful Malayalam film Lucifer (2019), which featured Mohanlal in the lead role.
Khan and Chiranjeevi started shooting together at ND Studios in Karjat last week. As the Dabangg (2010) star wrapped up filming his portion in the film, director Mohana Raja took to his Twitter handle to thank the superstar. He also shared glimpses from the sets of the film.
In the pictures, Salman Khan is seen in a blue T-shirt and bulletproof vest. “Finished an amazing schedule with the mighty man, sweetness personified, dear most Bhai, Salman Khan. Thanks, Bhai for making this so comfortable and so memorable. And thanks to our pillar of support Chiranjeevi for making this happen for our Godfather, music Thaman, and team,” Raja wrote in the caption.

If reports are to be believed, Khan did not charge any fee for his cameo in the film. Reportedly, the makers had offered to pay him a staggering amount of approximately £1,990,791 for his guest appearance. However, the superstar refused to take any money. He told Chiranjeevi he would not do the cameo if they insisted on paying him. As per reports, Khan has a 20-minute appearance in the upcoming film.
After wrapping up shoot for Godfather, Salman Khan will now reportedly do a photoshoot for his next film Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, set to begin production in the first week of April. The film, to be directed by Farhad Samji, also stars Pooja Hegde in the lead role.
The superstar will also be seen in Yash Raj Films’ Tiger 3, co-starring Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi.

Romesh admits he’s aware of possible overexposure but says he chooses work based on gut feeling and quality.
He makes his West End debut opposite Sheridan Smith in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind.
The play runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 9 December to 28 February, then in Sunderland and Glasgow in March.
Romesh will play Bill, the doctor who links Susan’s real and imagined worlds.
He balances television, radio, and stage work by turning down offers he doesn’t think he can do well.
Romesh Ranganathan says he knows the word “overexposure” follows him around and he’s decided it’s a risk worth taking. The comedian, who is making his West End debut, told the BBC he deliberately turns down roles at times but will say yes when a job feels right, putting “overexposure” and the play’s pull, plus the chance to work with Sheridan Smith, at the centre of his decision. This new stage turn comes as Romesh juggles television presenting, radio, and touring stand-up, and it is also his first proper stage role since primary school.

What does Romesh mean by overexposure?
He’s not talking theory. He’s talking experience. Romesh openly acknowledges people tell him “you’re on everything,” a phrase he quotes, not hides from. His defence, though, is practical. He asks whether the project is something he’d watch, whether he can do it justice, and yes, whether there’s a fee. That’s his filter. Plain as that.

Why take the West End risk with Sheridan Smith?
Because the role felt right. Romesh will play Bill, the doctor connecting Susan’s two worlds, in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind. Sheridan Smith leads as Susan, and Romesh says working opposite her is “exciting and intimidating.” He’s honest about nerves; that’s part of the point. He wants the challenge, even if it raises his profile further.
The production runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London from 9 December until 28 February, followed by dates at Sunderland Empire and a run at Theatre Royal, Glasgow, in March 2026 (Glasgow 10–14 March; Sunderland 4–7 March). The revival is directed by Michael Longhurst and keeps close to Ayckbourn’s original while offering a fresh staging.
How Romesh is balancing television, radio, and theatre
Romesh fronts shows including Parents Evening and hosts a BBC Radio 2 slot, plus podcasts and tours. He’s selective, he says. He’ll keep doing varied work, including television, radio, and stage, but only when he feels it’s the right fit. If the public tires of him? He joked he might go and work in a café. For now, he’s stepping on stage.
