It has been eight years today since Sonakshi Sinha made her debut with Dabanng and her first ever onscreen co-star, Salman Khan took to social media to share a wonderful post for her. Salman took to Instagram and Twitter as he shared a still from the movie and captioned it as: "Aaj 8 saal Ho Gaye Dabangg Ko... thank u for all the appreciation and love from Rajjo and Chulbul Pandey...see u in #Dabangg3 next year". And there you go! He also officially announced that Sonakshi will be a part of the third instalment. Salman Khan's Dabangg 3 to Clash with Hrithik Roshan's Super 30? Nah, We Don't Think So.

Since the longest time, rumours about Dabanng 3 have been doing the rounds. While the film is definitely on cards, fans weren't too sure if Sonakshi will be seen in the movie. But now that Bhai himself has confirmed it, we bet the audience would be damn excited.

Sona also shared a still from her debut film and captioned it as: "8 years of #Dabangg, 8 years of #chulbulandrajjo, 8 years of me doing what i love the most! Thank you @beingsalmankhan, @arbaazSkhan, #AbhinavKashyap for making me realize my calling! And thank YOU all, for all the love see u in #dabangg3 next year!!!" We bet this might have made the actress a tad bit nostalgic.

And here's what Sona wrote-

While there is still some time for Dabanng 3 to go on floors, Salman is currently busy with the shoot schedule of Bharat. The superstar has been shooting continuously with Katrina Kaif, who will be seen opposite him. Sonakshi, on the other hand, was recently seen in Happy Phirr Bhaag Jayegi. She has next been roped in for Total Dhamaal.
