Take five for Deepika and Shah Rukh

In Bollywood, it's not uncommon for actors to make special appearances in their friends' films. Take the example of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. The two are making cameos in each other's biggies, Tiger 3 and Pathaan. Now, word is that Deepika Padukone will make a special appearance in SRK's Jawan. She has apparently been in talks with the superstar and director Atlee for a while. Recently, Deepika met the duo in Hyderabad where they were shooting for their actioner, and she, for Project K. Sources say the actor has loved her role, and is committed to it in principle. Of course, before Jawan, we'll see Shah Rukh and Dippy in Pathaan that will release over the 2023 Republic Day weekend. Interestingly, this will be her fifth collaboration with SRK. Launched opposite King Khan in Om Shanti Om (2007), Deepika later went on to pair on screen with him in Chennai Express (2013) and Happy New Year (2014).

Celebrating friendship

It looks like the partying never stops for Salman Khan. The actor, who is shooting his next, Bhaijaan in Hyderabad, is making sure that he meets his friends during his stay there. Recently, when he went to meet his friend JC Pawan Reddy, he bumped into Chiranjeevi there. The two actors share a brotherly bond, and earlier this year, Salman also shot his cameo for Chiranjeevi's next, Godfather, in Karjat. They were also joined by Venkatesh, who is also acting with Salman in Farhad Samji's directorial venture. Predictably, having got together, the four had an impromptu party to celebrate their friendship. Cheers to that!
