Who doesn't remember Dabangg's special dance number, Munni Badnaam Hui? The song picturised on Malaika Arora turned out to be an iconic number, which was loved by people in every age bracket. As the franchise of Dabangg continues, it gave the audience one more foot-tapping number, Fevicol Se, in its second instalment. Both these songs received mixed responses from the critics, as some thought that they objectified women.

Keeping the tradition alive, the makers of Dabangg 3 are planning to have a special dance number in the third instalment too. However, the twist is that the song will be picturised on Salman Khan. The song is a redux of Malaika Arora's Munni Badnaam Hui from Dabangg, titled, Munna Badnaam Hua.

This report initially appeared on The Asian Age and talking about it, a source told the publication, "Malaika Arora's foot-tapping item number Munni Badnam Hui will be re-created and will feature Salman. This time, it will be presented to the audience with a different twist."

The source further added, "The lyrics will undergo a drastic change too. And Salman has decided to wear the overcoat of this Badnami himself and the song will be called Munna Badnaam Hua." Sounds interesting, doesn't it?
