Salman Khan and his long-time bodyguard Shera’s bond transcend professional boundaries. Shera has always remained loyal towards his ‘Maalik’ and the Sikandar actor also equally enjoys his fun times with his team. In an old video, Salman had once shared a video while Shera enacted a scene from Antim; attracting a humorous reaction from the Sikandar actor.
Back on November 26, 2021, Salman Khan shared a video with his long-time bodyguard Shera. In the video, Shera was seen standing behind the superstar and enacted a scene from the movie, Antim: The Final Truth on the popular dialogue “Jis din is sardar ki hategi, sabki phategi (The day this sardar will lose it, everyone will have a hard time).”
The dialogue is originally spoken by Salman’s character in the film. Standing behind the superstar, Shera made hand gestures, stepping into Salman’s shoes. The moment the actor turned his head to check what was going on, Shera humorously switched track and pointed towards the actor.
Nevertheless, Salman caught him and pointed, “Pehle isne ye karke kiya tha na (earlier he pointed towards himself)?” and Shera replies, “nai nai Maalik… ye ye…ye Sardar bola tha(No, no Maalik it was towards you)!”
Antim: The Final Truth, directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, was released in 2021. An official adaptation of the hit Marathi film, Mulshi Pattern, the film starred Salman, Ayush Sharma, Upendra Limaye, Nikitin Dheer, Jisshu Sengupta, Sayaji Shinde, and Mahima Makwana in key roles.
The movie unfolds against the backdrop of the age-old ordeal of farmers losing their land to mafias. It narrates the story of a jobless son of a farmer who joins hands with land mafias of Pune and becomes a dreaded gangster. He aims to fight injustice after his father was ripped off his land.
On the work front, Salman Khan is currently busy shooting for his upcoming collaboration with Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film also features Rashmika Mandanna, Prateik Babbar, Sathyaraj, and Sharman Joshi in the key roles. The movie is poised to release next year on Eid 2025.
In addition to this, Sajid has also announced the long-awaited sequel to 2014, Kick with Salman. An exciting backshot of the superstar was shared with the official post relating to Kick 2; leaving fans excited.

Lupita Nyong’o has revealed if she would be interested in lending her voice to any other character in her latest movie, The Wild Robot. She stars as Roz in the film. In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Nyong’o gushed about her fun experience making the movie, especially voicing a character fans have not seen her do before. However, when we asked if she’d pick any other character apart from Roz, she had a firm answer with very sweet reasoning.
Nyong’o said she would never pick any other character except for Roz which is the nickname for her robot character ROZZUM Unit 7134 in the movie. When asked if she could voice any other character from her movie which one would it be, the Academy Award-winning actress promptly replied, “No, I wouldn’t want to voice any of the other characters.”
She explained, “Because the other actors do such a good job of voicing those characters and I really am partial to Roz.”
The plot of the movie follows Roz, a service robot who was left on a deserted island during a shipwreck. Roz struggles to fit into her surroundings and in the process accidentally crushes an abandoned goose nest which happens to have only one egg in it. She nurtures the egg till it hatches and has the help of a Fox Fink voiced by Pedro Pascal and an opossum voiced by Catherine O’Hara.

Lupita Nyong’o’s robot decides to depart from the island to shield its animals. Though going back to her factory settings, she remembers everything and embraces Brightbill upon their emotional reunion. The film follows a hand-painted visual style inspired by classic Disney films and Hayao Miyazaki’s works. This is also DreamWorks’ last film with a completely in-house crew, as future works will outsource most of its parts from other studios.
The Wild Robot arrives in international theatres on October 18.
