The superstar was filming for Pathan before the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, and according to a source close to production, he on Friday resumed the shooting of the Siddharth Anand-directed movie.
The filming started weeks after the Maharashtra government gave nod to the film and TV industry to begin production activities with Covid-19 protocols.
The movie also features actors John Abraham and Deepika Padukone, who will soon return to the sets as well. Superstar Salman Khan has a cameo appearance in the movie.
Earlier in the day, Khan expressed gratitude to his fans for their unending love and support throughout his career.
Reflecting on his career, the actor said he spent more than half his life trying to entertain the audience.
"Been working. Just saw the 'overwhelmed ness' of the love of nearly 30 years you are showering on me here. Realised it’s more than half my life in the service of hoping to entertain you all," he wrote on Twitter.
