Rajpal Yadav has officially commenced shooting for Salman Khan's highly anticipated yet-to-be-titled action entertainer, tentatively known as SVC63. This casting marks a heartwarming reunion between the two actors, coming shortly after Salman publicly supported Rajpal during a difficult phase in the latter's life.
Rajpal Yadav to Play Salman Khan's Right-Hand Man
According to Bollywood Hungama, Rajpal Yadav has been cast in a key role in this action-packed entertainer. As per the report, "Rajpal will be playing Salman Khan's right hand in the film and will share a strong dynamic bond throughout the story. It's one of the most important characters, and the casting has happened on merit. Salman is very fond of Rajpal and feels that he fits the bill to the T for his particular part."
While Rajpal was initially scheduled to begin shooting in May, he has already started filming ahead of schedule. The report further added that his character will also carry a comic punch, stating, "The comic angle will bring the house down with laughter."
Salman Khan's Reunion with Rajpal Yadav
This is not the first time the duo has shared screen space. They have worked together on several cult films, including 'Partner' (Chotta Don) and 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' (Chotta Pandit). The reunion comes after Salman extended public support to Rajpal amid a cheque bounce and debt case, with Rajpal's first post-controversy release being the horror-comedy 'Bhooth Bangla'.

Salman has confirmed the film's release on Eid 2027. Sharing a video from the mahurat ceremony on set, he captioned it: "Thoda durr ki sochna chahiye, that's why announced Eid… Don't worry, iss wali ka bhi bataenge when the time is right… Patience, thoda sa sabar… Mere jitna hi intezar karna padega. Baharhaal, jo aapka haal hai, woh hi mera bhi haal hai… haha."
