Monitoring Desk

MUMBAI: The first schedule of Dabangg 3 was shot in Maheshwar (Madhya Pradesh) and was recently even wrapped up, Salman Khan is back in town and now he is busy with the promotions of his next, Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat.

Once he is done with Bharat, the superstar will resume shooting for the third part of his much-awaited franchise Dabangg.

Meanwhile, director Prabhudheva has decided to finish shooting the solo parts of his villain, which is being played by South star Sudeep. To justify Sudeep’s popularity and stature, we hear that a huge entry sequence has been penned down for him and it will be shot on a big scale. A massive set of a temple, a house and a lake have been constructed at a studio in Mumbai for the film. Sudeep will shoot with Salman next month.

As per a report in a leading daily, “Sudeep plays a goon in the film and will be seen in an intense, larger-than-life face-off with the hero, Salman Khan. In this film, the villain’s track is more of a parallel lead. The film is set in the past and present and Sudeep’s character is involved in both. This time, it’s the antagonist who is the catalyst in the story.”

Produced by Arbaaz Khan and Salman Khan Films, Dabangg 3 is also going to launch his friend, filmmaker-actor, Mahesh Manjarekar’s daughter Ashwami. We can’t wait to watch Chulbul Pandey on the big screen again, we are sure you are eager too.
