Salman Khan Asks Prabhudheva To Direct Dabangg 3

It’s final. Prabhudheva will direct the third instalment of the Salman Khan’s loopy lawmaker Chulbul Pandey’s wacky exploits.

The decision to not let Arbaaz Khan direct Dabangg 3 was taken by Arbaaz himself.

Says a source close to Salman, “Arbaaz wiped his hands off the franchise  after directing the second instalment . In fact he was not supposed to direct the second Dabangg film either.Arbaaz came on board  only after there was a fall-out with the original director Abhinav Deo.”

Salman has now asked his old friend Prabhudheva to  step in as the director of Dabangg 3.

Prabhudheva fits the Dabangg bill on several counts. Salman and Prabhu go back a  long way. In 2008 Prabhudirected Salman’s comeback film Wanted after a spate of  flops.

Also, Prabhudheva understands the zany mood of Dabangg better than any director.

Says Prabhu, “I will do any film that Salman Sir asks me to.  Nobody says no to him.”
