Dabangg 3: Sonakshi Sinha Reveals When Salman Khan’s Film Will Go on Floors
Earlier, reports suggested that Dabangg 3 will go on floors in the month of September, 2018.
Salman Khan's Dabangg 3 has been in the news for quite some time now. Ever since its announcement, there have been a lot of speculations surrounding the cast of the film. However the reports suggest Sonakshi Sinha will reprise the role of Rajjo in Dabangg 3, while Gold actress Mouni Roy will be playing one of Salman's previous romantic interests, who will appear in the flashback scenes. The actress will reportedly have a screen time of just about 15-20 minutes in the third franchise. Helmed by Prabhu Dheva, Dabangg 3 is more like a prequel and will trace Salman's character Chulbul Pandey’s journey of becoming the Robinhood of his area.
While talking about Dabangg 3 to DNA, Sonakshi revealed that the film will go on floors by the year-end. She told the daily, "Yes, Dabangg 3 will now roll by the year-end. Prabhudheva will direct it and I can’t wait to get back to that space," further adding, "Chulbul is incomplete without Rajjo, so I’ll definitely be there." Earlier, the daily had reported that Dabangg 3 will go on floors in the month of September this year.
Revealing about the shooting locations of Dabangg 3, a source, in a statement to the daily, had said, "The idea is to make Dabangg 3 more realistic and take it a few notches above the previous instalments in every possible way. Since the story is based on a real cop, the film’s makers felt that shooting in a North Indian city like Ghaziabad would add to the storytelling. Moreover, the city is being treated as a character in the movie. While the previous films in the franchise have been shot in Wai, shooting in Ghaziabad will also give the third outing a different and fresh look."
On the professional front, Sonakshi’s other release of the year is Happy Bhag Jayegi Returns, the sequel of the 2016 sleeper hit Happy Bhag Jayegi. The film also stars the leading lady of the first part, Diana Penty and is directed by Mudassar Aziz. Watch this space for further updates.
