Photos: Riteish Deshmukh wraps up his directorial debut, Ved; Salman Khan makes a cameo appearance

Riteish Deshmukh, who has entertained the audience for the past two decades, is now set to go behind the camera. Yes, the actor has donned the director's hat and recently wrapped the shoot of the Marathi film, Ved. The film features Genelia Deshmukh as the female lead and also stars Jiya Shankar. While announcing the wrap of Ved, Riteish dropped a major surprise! Yes, the film also stars Salman Khan in a cameo role, much to the excitement of the superstar. 

The Masti actor shared a series of photos with the superstar on his Instagram page with two different captions—in English and Marathi. Riteish wrote, "As we celebrate Ashadi Ekadashi, I wish you all a life filled with happiness, love, and prosperity. On this auspicious day, it thrills me to say that, with your kind blessings, I have completed filming my first directorial Marathi movie, वेड (Madness, Crazy, Passion). This road had its challenges, but when you are surrounded with people that have your back, forward is the only way you can go."

He added, "One such person is my dearest ‘Salman Bhau’ @beingsalmankhan. I have no words to express my gratitude for the grace and kindness he has shown towards Genelia and me. He was part of my debut Marathi film Lai Bhaari and now he is a part of my debut directorial film, वेड. Love you Bhau."

Earlier, while announcing Ved, Riteish had written on his Instagram page that he was making a tremendous jump to stand behind the camera for the first time after spending 20 years in front of it. He humbly sought their prayers and blessings as he helmed his first Marathi movie. The actor asked his fans to be a part of this trip and this lunacy.

The release date of Ved is yet to be announced.
