On the first day of filming, the actor was joined by his co-star, Pooja Hegde, as they shot an extensive action scene set in the metro. And now, there are reports of two new additions to the cast of this untitled film.

According to the news portal, Jassie Gill and Siddharth Nigam will play Salman's brothers in the film. Salman, Farhad, and the entire team were looking for actors with comedic timing, and after a thorough search, they have settled on Jassie Gill, Siddharth Nigam, and Raghav to play the three brothers.The trio will join Salman on set in Mumbai today.

As per reports, the team has enlisted the services of a new cast. The film's extended cast includes Salman Khan, Pooja Hegde, Venkatesh, Shehnaaz Gill, Jassie Gill, Raghav, and Siddharth Nigam. More names are being added to the cast, and the makers will make an announcement with the title this week. While Jassie has already appeared in Panga, this is Shehnaaz's Hindi film debut. Siddharth Nigam, on the other hand, is a well-known television personality who portrayed the younger version of Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3.

Following the action schedule in Mumbai, the Salman Khan Films production will shoot extensively in Hyderabad beginning in June.

This movie is seeing so many changes and so many people joining the cast and leave the movie. I feel this movie will be a mess 😆

Siddharth Nigam as a brother? He could be his son 😆

Sidharth looks too young to be his brother

Salman is ageing fast I feel

OMG it's such an impressive and talented cast. I miss Aayush Sharma so so much. He would have been the 🍒 on the cake 🍰

Does Siddharth play Salman's half brother? He's neither similar looking nor the age makes sense here.

Some kid played the part of Salman's sister in Prem Ratan too. Nothing about his movies should surprise any of us anymore.😆

Anyway, good that Ayush walked out of this film, he is a hero material and shouldn't be working as a side kick anymore. Lost interest (if any) in this movie after he walked out.

I can atleast say I have watched Ashoka TV serial and can say Siddhart Nigam is terrific as a performer but he needs those roles to shine not this to be casted into movies.

Do you remember he was the child version of Aamir in Dhoom 3? He was equally great in those small scenes.

They should be playing his sons 😊
