Salman Khan stealthily slipped into Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’ as the enigmatic Tiger, and the internet practically broke with excitement – it was the Bollywood crossover fantasy come true. However, lightning rarely strikes twice, and the déjà vu hit hard when a similar cameo formula unfolded in Tiger 3, garnering a mixed response from fans. Now, as speculations swirl around War 2 starring Hrithik Roshan, the internet is abuzz, anticipating a cameo storm.
The Khan cameo saga takes a serious turn as Aditya Chopra, having learned his lesson from the organic charm of Salman Khan’s Tiger in ‘Pathaan,’ decided to shelve the attempted replication in ‘Tiger 3’ due to its lack of organic finesse. According to Bollywood Hungama, acknowledging industry feedback about cameos veering into gimmick territory, Chopra is now committed to deploying star appearances only when the screenplay genuinely warrants them. Plans for a Khan bonanza in ‘War 2’, featuring Tiger and Pathaan, have been scrapped, with the film evolving into a pure Hrithik Roshan and NTR JR. spectacle. This shift emphasizes that War 2, under the directorial helm of Ayan Mukerji, will be a story-driven action film, firmly putting the spotlight on narrative integrity over star-studded cameos.
