Expansion Of BRICS Has Added To Its Inclusivity And Agenda For Global Good: PM Modi

The zoological park may remain closed for visitors on the day the foreseen cyclone hits the coast. 

A set of guidelines have been issued by the zoo authorities to protect the inmates. 

A 24-hour control room under the guidance of the Assistant Conservator of the Forest (ACF0) will operate. All staff members of the Nandankan Zoo have been advised not to leave the headquarters until normalcy is restored. 

Weak tree branches and branches in threatening positions will be cut apart before the cyclone. 

Bix boxes will be kept ready in bird enclosures for the safety of the winged creatures. 

Anti-venom serums will be kept in adequate quantities in the zoo hospital. 
 

Word is that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will also be seen in a cameo appearance in the film portraying the character of the OG supercop, Chulbul Pandey in ‘Singham Again’ directed by Rohit Shetty.

Although not from the Rohit Shetty cop universe, Chulbul Pandey is an iconic character of Hindi cinema, and was first seen in ‘Dabangg’ directed by Abhinav Kashyap, the brother of the poster boy of independent cinema, Anurag Kashyap.

Chulbul Pandey is a corrupt cop but has his heart in the right place. Salman subsequently reprised the role of Chulbul Pandey in ‘Dabangg 2’ and ‘Dabangg 3’, however, Abhinav took an exit from the franchise after the first part. ‘Dabangg’ also marked the debut of actress Sonakshi Sinha, who tied the knot with actor Zaheer Iqbal in June this year.

Salman Khan's inclusion as Chulbul Pandey adds an exciting layer to the narrative. This unexpected crossover not only marks the first time these two iconic characters of Bajirao Singham and Chulbul Pandey will share the screen, but it also promises to bring an electrifying dynamic to the Singham franchise.

Rohit Shetty, known for his thrilling action sequences and captivating storytelling, promises to deliver yet another blockbuster with this film. The addition of Salman Khan to the cast is set to elevate the stakes, creating an unforgettable cinematic experience for fans of both the Bollywood stars.

Salman, on his part, has been keeping a low-profile following the murder of his close friend, politician Baba Siddique, who is claimed to be murdered by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
