Salman Khan, who is once again playing a cop in his brother Arbaaz Khan's debut production Dabangg, says he has a special connect with police as his grandfather was a police officer and, of course, due to his own run-ins with the law.

"I think because my grandfather was deputy inspector general (DIG) of police, Indore, I have this special thing for the cops. I have also shared a very long relationship...!" Salman said with a laugh.

The actor spent time in jail in 2002 after his car allegedly ran over four people sleeping on a footpath. He once again went behind bars in 2007 in Jodhpur on charges of hunting an endangered deer.
