After Blackbuck Verdict For Salman Khan, Baaghi 2 Success Party Cancelled

New Delhi: The success party of Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani's recently-released film Baaghi 2 has been cancelled after Salman Khan was convicted in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case by a Jodhpur court on Thursday afternoon. The 52-year-old superstar has been sentenced to five years in jail. Sajid Nadiadwala, who is the producer of Tiger Shroff's Baaghi 2, cancelled the film's success party, which was scheduled to take place on Friday and is now going to Jodhpur, read a statement. After the judgement was delivered, Salman was taken directly to the Jodhpur Central Jail while his other Hum Saath-Saath Hain co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam Kothari, who were also charged, were acquitted in the 20-year-old case due to lack of evidence.
