Dabangg 3 starring Salman Khan (Chulbul Pandey) and Sonakshi Sinha (Rajjo Pandey) in the lead, is all set to release this December. South hunk Kichcha Sudeep (Sikander Bhardwaj) would be seen playing the antagonist. In an interview to a leading tabloid, the Kannada industry actor has talked about the film’s climax scene. He has mentioned what Salman did for the action sequence in this Prabhudheva directorial.

Talking about the climax scene Kichcha Sudeep told Mid-Day, “It is a showdown where both of us are seen bare-chested.” He also said, “When we started shooting the movie, he (Salman Khan) was slightly overweight; it was because of his other commitments. He was aware that (he wasn’t as fit as he would like to be). So, he hit the gym, and within a month, he had a ripped body. At this age, his determination is unbelievable. It made me hit the gym every day as I didn’t want to look like a joker in front of him.”

On working with Salman Khan, the south superstar was quoted saying as, “Salman is one of the biggest stars. So, you need someone with an equally strong personality to face him. I wondered why they had approached me. But when they explained the concept, I was convinced. Salman is full of life and treats me like family.” Dabangg 3 will also see Arbaaz Khan and Mahie Gill reprise their roles from the previous film. The film is all set to be released on December 20!
