Speaking about the popular Dabangg series, Salman Khan, in an interview with news agency PTI revealed that Chulbul Pandey was originally meant to be dark character and that Arbaaz Khan and Randeep Hooda were offered the film. However, Salman was zeroed in for the lead role. "It was a very dark film, small film to be made under Rs 2 crore. At that point of time, it had Randeep Hooda and Arbaaz. So Arbaaz said he has been approached for this and it's a good one so just hear it," PTI quoted Salman as saying.
Dabangg 3 is the third installment of the super hit Dabangg series. The film will be directed by Prabhu Deva. Just like its previous renditions, Dabangg 3 has also been produced by Salman's brother Arbaaz Khan. Salman and Sonakshi Sinha have reprised their roles as Chulbul Pandey and Rajjo, respectively while Saiee Manjrekar and Sudeep are the latest additions to the Dabangg family.
