Earlier we had reported that the film will start rolling in April, but here's the date. It can be recalled that back in January, director Arbaaz Khan had confirmed the sequel to Dabangg 2 being in the pipeline, but it was being said that Dabangg 3 would be a prequel to Dabangg. Sonakshi Sinha on Shooting for Salman Khan’s Dabangg 3: It Is Like Homecoming for Me

Since Dabangg 3 will be a prequel, Sonakshi Sinha will have a minuscule role in the film. There were rumours that Kareena Kapoor Khan was to be a part of the project, but in an interaction with Mumbai Mirror, director Arbaaz Khan had revealed that she was not a part of Dabangg 3. Given Bebo and Arbaaz's ex-wife's close friendship, it is only natural that she won't be approached.
