Take a look at Salman Khan's post introducing his nemesis on social media:
Sudeep, who has featured in the Phoonk series, Rann and Rakta Charitra 2 before Dabangg 3, earlier told Pinkvilla that filming action sequences opposite Salman Khan was difficult for him because he couldn't kick the actor as he respects him. He said, "I found it very difficult at a particular time because there was a shot when I needed to kick him on his chest very hard... And then later, Salman tells me, 'Buddy, kick me'. I told Prabhu sir 'I can't kick him'. The respect that you have for some people... I can't sir."
Dabangg 3 is directed by Prabhu Deva and as per media reports a part of the film talks about the protagonist Chulbul Pandey's past and how he became a Dabangg cop. In the portions about Chulbul's past, Mahesh Manjrekar's daughter Saiee has been roped in Salman's onscreen love interest. Meanwhile, Sonakshi Sinha will reprise the role of Rajjo (Chulbul Pandey's wife) and Arbaaz Khan will return as Makhanchand Pandey(Chulbul Pandey's brother) in Dabangg 3. Pramod Khanna will step into his late brother Vinod Khanna's role as Prajapati Pandey.
