After Salman Khan hit the jackpot with his portrayal of a quirky cop Chulbul Pandey in Dabangg, everyone in Bollyood wanted to don the cop's uniform

The music of the film was composed by Lamikant Pyarelal and the track goes Ban Kar Aandhi Toofani Ladti Ja Zulam Se Mardani.”
A spokesperson of Yash Raj Films however maintains, “There is no truth to this.”u00a0
