The report states, "Rajpal will be playing Salman Khan's right hand in the film and will share a strong dynamic bond throughout the story.

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."Rajpal Yadav featured in Priyadarshan's 'Bhooth Bangla', starring Akshay Kumar in the lead. The horror comedy is doing well at the box office. It was released in theaters on April 17, 2026.
