Dabangg 3 marks the second collaboration of Salman and the director Prabhudheva. The two have previously worked together in 'Wanted'. The upcoming film also stars Sonakshi Sinha reprising her role of Rajjo in the film. Sonakshi made her acting debut alongside Salman in Dabangg, which released in 2010. As per media reports, the upcoming film also stars Arbaaz as Makkhi.
Although Arbaaz Khan had ably helmed the second instalment of the popular franchise, the actor-producer surprised many when he handed over the baton to Prabhudheva for the third edition. "In a franchise, it's always good to bring a fresh perspective since the surroundings are essentially the same," he reasons, adding, "The next instalment may be directed by someone else, or I may return to helm it."
Salman Khan recently wrapped up the Maheshwar schedule of the film and treated his fans with a new still. The actor can be seen flaunting the signature Chulbul moustache. The movie is being produced under the banner of Salman Khan Films and Arbaaz Khan Production. It is expected to release around Christmas this year and may clash with Alia Bhatt - Ranbir Kapoor starrer 'Brahmastra'.
