There is no denying the fact that Dabangg is one of the most profitable franchises Bollywood has produced in the past decade. The first instalment of the series hit the marquee in 2010, and now the makers are gearing up to release the third part.
At the song launch of Dabangg 3, Salman Khan hinted at Dabangg 4 already being in the works. During one of his interviews, the superstar has confirmed that the fourth instalment of the Dabangg franchise is indeed in the pipeline, even before the release of Dabangg 3.
Khan said in the interview, “We have Dabangg 4 written too.” Well, if the fourth part has already been written, we can expect it in cinemas in a couple of years, unlike Dabangg 3 for which fans had to wait for seven long years after the release of Dabangg 2 in 2012.
When asked how he comes up with plans of making sequels, Salman Khan told the publication, “They just come about. Sometimes, one film gives you an idea for the next. In Dabangg 3, we explore why Rajjo's father was an alcoholic and how Chulbul Pandey met her. When you see the film, you will understand what all we have gone through.”
Dabangg 3, which is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on 20th December 2019, is expected to open to packed houses. Trade pundits believe that the film has got everything to emerge as the biggest opener of the year. After all, everyone is waiting to see Chulbul Pandey back on the screen once again.
Aside from Salman Khan, Dabangg 3 also stars Sonakshi Sinha who reprises her role of Rajjo. Saiee Manjrekar, daughter of well-known actor-filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar, is making her silver screen debut with the film. The Prabhudheva directorial enters theatres on 20th December 2019.
