"The script of Dabangg 3 is ready. It's going to start during Bharat, which is Atul and Alvira's (Agnihotri) film, which Ali Abbas Zafar is directing. That starts after Remo's film. Atul's film requires some gaps. So between the schedules for Atul's film, I will shoot for 'Dabangg 3', "Salman, 51, as he was quoted saying to DNA. 'Dabangg' released in 2010 while Dabangg 2 hit the screens in 2012. Co-directed by Arbaaz Khan, both the films starred actress Sonakshi Sinha. However, Salman said that 'Dabangg 3' will not be directed by Arbaaz. "He gets very hyper so we asked him to chill and take rest. He will produce the film this time," Salman Khan added.
About Dabangg 3's plot, Salman said, "The story starts with 'Dabangg 3' in the present and then it goes back to the past, and then comes back to the present day again. It will have a prequel portion, but only as a flashback. So it's 'Chulbul Pandey' now and then - what has gone on in his life before part one and two. The flashback will show how 'Chulbul Pandey' actually became 'Chulbul Pandey'. The remaining part will be about what he's up to now."
Veteran actor Vinod Khanna who passed away recently, was a part of both 'Dabangg' and 'Dabangg 2'. He played the role of Salman's step-father, while Salman's real life brother Arbaaz Khan, played his onscreen brother as well. The film is all set to go on floors soon.
