According to reports, the director of the film Prabhudheva has already narrated a story to Sudeep, who has given a green signal to the cop drama verbally. However, he has not signed on the dotted line so far.

Taking to Twitter, Salman had recently surprised millions of fans when he heaped praises on the teaser of Sudeep’s upcoming Kannada film ‘Pailwaan’. Sudeep plays a wrestler in the film.

According to a report published in DNA, Salman Khan is likely to book Christmas 2019 for ‘Dabangg 3’ release. If that does happen, then Salman Khan starrer ‘Dabbang 3’ and Ranbir Kapoor– Alia Bhatt starrer ‘Brahmastra’ will clash on the box office this Christmas. As per the source, the script for ‘Dabbang 3’ is locked and it will go on floors in April 2019.

In ‘Dabangg 3’ Sonakshi Sinha will reprise her role as Salman’s wife Rajjo. However, no official announcement has been made regarding clash by any of the filmmakers so far.
