If the recent buzz is true then superstar Salman Khan has reportedly been roped in to feature in a special song in Ajay Devgn's upcoming film Shivaay.

According to a report in Spotboye, Ajay, 47, is very keen to feature Salman in a special song, which would be used as a promotional tool.

It is said that the Bajrangi Bhaijaan star has agreed to make an appearance.

Earlier, Salman did a special dance number Po Po Popo in Ajay's 2012 movie Son of Sardaar alongside Sanjay Dutt.

Shivaay, which is Ajay's second directorial venture, will mark Sayyeshaa Saigal's Bollywood debut. She is the grand niece of Saira Banu and legendary actor Dilip Kumar.

The film is slated to hit theatres on October 28.

Parineeti Chopra, who was rumoured to be making her debut in South opposite actor Mahesh Babu, has cited date issues for not signing the film.

DNA quoted Parineeti, 27, as saying, "I'm not sure who said that I was doing the film, but the fact is, there was never an announcement from our side. We never comment on any film till we sign on the dotted line."

"Maybe the news came from their team. Yes, I was approached for it and discussions were going on... Maybe that's why it led to the speculation, but one can only make an announcement once you sign it on paper."

She added, "I never spoke about it. Unfortunately, as much as I would have loved to do it, I can't because the dates didn't work out. I am committed to Homi Adjania's 'Takadum' and another film after that. Having said that, I would like to add that I would love to do South films, but unfortunately, none worked out because of dates or other issues. I would love to do all kinds of cinema, whatever the language."

On the professional front, the Ishaqzaade actress has a lot on her plate this year.

Parineeti, who is currently busy shooting Meri Pyaari Bindu, will also be seen in Homi Adjania's movie Takadum opposite Sushant Singh Rajput.

She would also be seen showing her dance moves in Dishoom's song Jaaneman Aah.
