Rakhi Sawant urges fans to watch Salman Khan’s cameo in Raja Shivaji, a film that opened strongly at the box office. The actor’s influence in Bollywood continues to shine.
Rakhi Sawant recently made a heartfelt appeal to Salman Khan’s fans, urging them to support his latest film, ‘Raja Shivaji’, which was released on May 1, 2026. This historical drama features Khan in a cameo as Jiva Mahala, and his presence has already sparked significant interest among audiences.
The film opened with a net collection of Rs 11.35 crore in India, a strong start that underscores the actor’s enduring popularity in Bollywood. Why does this matter? It highlights how Salman Khan’s star power can drive box office success even in smaller roles.
‘Raja Shivaji’ tells the story of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, celebrating his bravery and leadership. This context matters because it connects Khan’s well-known persona as a larger-than-life figure to the historical narrative, allowing fans to engage with both the actor and the story.
Rakhi Sawant stated, “Salman Khan ke fans ko ye bolna chahungi, me tumhari behn Rakhi Sawant hu, Salman Khan ki jo ye film ayi hai Raja Shivaji, isko dekho.” Her words resonate with many who view Khan not just as an actor but as a cultural icon whose projects deserve attention.
Interestingly, Kangana Ranaut also recalled how Salman encouraged her early in her career to meet renowned director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. At just 16 or 17 years old, she took his advice seriously—”He said, you should go and meet Sanjay Bhansali,” she recalled. This anecdote illustrates how Salman Khan has shaped the careers of other actors in Bollywood.
Looking ahead, Salman Khan is set to star in an upcoming superhero film directed by Raj & DK, with filming expected to start in October 2026. This transition from historical dramas to superhero narratives could further expand his influence across different genres.
For now, fans are rallying around ‘Raja Shivaji’, celebrating both the film and their beloved star. As they do so, they reflect on how one actor can connect past and present—through compelling storytelling and unforgettable performances.
