EXCLUSIVE: Did you know the original runtime of Salman Khan’s Dabangg was actually 163 minutes? Watch video

Arbaaz Khan has joined for the first episode of Bollywood Bubble’s latest show The Khandaan Edition, powered by Bollycoin. In the video, the actor-producer of Salman Khan’s superhit film, ‘Dabangg’ revealed some never heard stories from the set. Not just that, he also shared that the original runtime of the 2010 movie was actually 163 minutes.

Now, in an exclusive conversation, Arbaaz Khan, who marked as his debut as a producer said that they had to edit the 40minutes of the film. “The first edit of the film, which seemed like a locked edit, and like isme se ek scene nahi cut sakta was 2 hours 43 minutes and we saw that portion and said ‘Boss this is too long, this is not going to work.’ We chat on the edit and made it to a 2-hour 3-minute film, so 40 odd minutes of our film was thrown away. It’s painful to us also because we shot for it and spend money on it, but you have to do what is right for the film, and we did that!”
