In what social media is calling the most “unreal” crossover of 2026, Punjabi-Canadian singer AP Dhillon shared a series of mud-splattered photos featuring himself alongside Bollywood titan Salman Khan and cricket legend MS Dhoni. The pictures, posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, capture the trio enjoying a high-adrenaline off-roading session at Salman’s iconic Panvel farmhouse.
The post, which has already garnered millions of likes, shows the stars covered in slush after an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) ride. Dhillon even shared a video of their vehicle stuck in the mud, playfully captioning it: “Who do you think crashed it?”
Cashing in on Camaraderie
While the casual setting left many fans asking if the photos were AI-generated, the camaraderie is very real.
- The Setting: The gathering took place just weeks after Salman Khan’s 60th birthday (December 27), as part of an ongoing celebration with close friends.
- The “Old Money” Connection: This isn’t AP’s first brush with the “Tiger” star; Salman previously made a cameo as AP’s “brother” in the Old Money music video in late 2024.
- Fan Reactions: The comments section became a playground for jokes, with one fan writing, “This collab happened before GTA VI,” and another jokingly asking AP, “Bro, what prompt did you use for this AI?”
What’s Next for the Trio?
The “unexpected collab” comes as all three icons are navigating major milestones in 2026:
| Personality | Current Highlight | Upcoming Project |
| Salman Khan | Fresh off the success of Sikandar (2025). | Battle of Galwan – Releasing April 17, 2026. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia. |
| MS Dhoni | Mentoring the next generation in IPL 2026 preparations. | Rumoured involvement in a high-profile sports documentary. |
| AP Dhillon | Just released the chart-buster Raatan Lambiyan. | Set to headline a multi-city global arena tour later this year. |
The “Battle of Galwan” Update
Salman Khan is currently undergoing intense physical training for his role as an Indian Army officer in Battle of Galwan. The film, which also stars Chitrangada Singh, is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. The teaser, released on his 60th birthday, has already racked up record views, showing Salman in a grittier, more restrained avatar than his usual “Bhai” persona.
