The first season of the gangster drama, Sacred Games took the nation by storm with Saif Ali Khan taking part in a no-nonsense Sikh Cop to a Marathi Gangster performed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Though the second season tanked, the 2 characters ended up being iconic. Reply99 has now learnt that Salman Khan too is all set to play a no nonsense Sikh Cop in director Mahesh Manjrekar’s upcoming gangster drama, Antim: The Final Truth, which stars Aayush Sharma as a Marathi Gangster.
“The cop being Sikh is the sole reason for Salman to do Antim, as he hasn’t done a character like this before. He is beefing up, increasing his beard as he will be seen playing a tough, intense and real Sikh cop, and wear the turban too. There are larger than life elements in the script, but this cop has his own swag, and style of functioning. It’s more like how a cop would be in real life, unlike his other cops which are more commercial and heroic,” a supply instructed Reply99.
Aayush Sharma alternatively plays a younger gangster and his character too shows a lot of traits because it’s an emotional journey. “It’s more like Salman’s version of a Sikh Cop and A Marathi Gangster minus the abuses and vulgar scenes of Sacred Games. He is attempting to make an intense gangster film this time around and trying to play a rather mature character that blends well with his age. However, his cop is more of a supporting character as the entire story revolves around brother in law, Aayush Sharma’s gangster,” the supply additional shared. The film is the official adaptation of Marathi Hit, Mulshi Pattern. While within the authentic movie, the cops character was extra of an prolonged cameo of 25 minutes, we hear, this time round, the makers have tweaked the story to make it extra like a character that runs parallel to Aayush Sharma’s observe with a runtime of round 50 minutes. However, the gangster continues to stay the central character, identical to the unique movie, however cops position has been elevated from an prolonged cameo to the second most essential character of the movie.
The trade nevertheless is a little stunned by Salman’s resolution to play a supporting position in a movie that includes a rank new comer like Aayush Sharma. “Salman’s films have been all about Salman with little scope of the actress or supporting actors. It’s surprising to see him play a supporting role at a time when his stardom is at its peak and given the age, he is just a few more years away from taking up character roles. It’s very unlike Salman’s pattern of working. Maybe it’s an emotional decision taken by him for family, just the way he used to in the early days of his career. Let’s hope this doesn’t have an impact on his standing in the industry, is a one-off scenario and we get to see Salman play kick some butts and play solo to the gallery in his other films,” the insider shared.
The film went on flooring on Sunday with Aayush Sharma taking pictures a chase sequence on the streets of Pune. Salman is predicted to be a part of the solid from December first week.
