Arbaaz Khan was in for a rude surprise when he woke up to the 'news' making rounds about Dabangg 2 getting pushed to March next year. The delay was attributed to the film's shooting still being on as 40% of it is still remaining. It was also being stated that after Salman Khan and Aamir Khan deliberated on these changes, it was also decided that Talaash would now push ahead. This means that instead of its originally planned 30th November release, the film was now supposed to occupy Aamir's favourite Christmas slot by arriving on 21st December, the slot left vacant now due to (apparent) moving ahead of Dabangg 2.
"This is bizarre", says Arbaaz in a defiant role, "There is no change in plan and we are arriving as scheduled on 21st December. There is no delay in the film schedule's either and we are on track. Yes, 40% of the film's shoot is left but we have dates already allocated for that. In fact we resume the film's shoot in a week from now."
He is particularly surprised that Aamir's Talaash came into the picture as well.
"I have no idea who is gossip monger behind this. May be some idle mind is just playing mischief. We are on target and anything and everything else that you hearing are plain rumours. 21st December is final for Dabangg 2", he states.
Guess that should set the record straight.
The shooting of the Salman Khan-Sonakshi Sinha starrer Dabangg 2 is underway and the director has confirmed that the film will hit the screens in December this year.
Arbaaz Khan tweeted, "Well for all the Chulbul Pandey fans.. DABANGG 2 is almost 60% complete, we resume shoot after the promotion and release of EK THA TIGER !!!"
"DABANGG 2 is slated for an end of the year Christmas release.. 21st Dec 2012," he further added.
Dabangg 2 is the sequel to the 2010 film Dabangg that was directed by Abhinav Kashyap.
Actress Karisma Kapoor, who was last seen in the film Dangerous Ishhq, has reportedly been offered an item number in Dabangg 2. Apparently, the film's leading man Salman Khan wants Karisma to be a part of the film.
Karisma's last film, directed by Vikram Bhatt, did not do well at the box office.
Karisma is known for her dancing skills and she may get to flaunt them in a chartbusting number just like Malaika Arora Khan in Dabangg.
Sources claim that the item number will be a fusion of north Indian folk and western dance and will be choreographed by none other than director Farah Khan.
Sonakshi Sinha, who is presently gearing up for the release of her forthcoming film Joker opposite Akshay Kumar, has started shooting for Salman Khan's Dabangg 2.
Sequel to blockbuster Dabangg, Dabangg 2 will see Salman in his Robinhood Pandey avatar and Sonakshi Sinha will reprise her role of Rajjo. Sinha took to Twitter to announce her presence on the sets writing, "Aaj ki taaza khabar... Rajjo dabangg 2 ki set par haazir hai! Shoot starts today :) (sic)."
The second edition of the 2010 blockbuster is being helmed by Arbaaz Khan. The movie is slated to release on December 21, 2012 and will also feature Arbaaz, Vinod Khanna, Deepak Dobriyal and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles.
