Arbaaz Khan rubbishes Sabbir Khan's claim that he was approached to direct or write Dabangg 3

Actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan is upset with Munna Michael director Sabbir Khan after a tabloid reported that’s he’s one of the directors approached to pen the script for the much-awaited Dabangg 3. 

Arbaaz, who produced and starred in the two Dabangg films and directed Dabangg 2 (2012), expressed his displeasure through a tweet, rubbishing Sabbir's claim that he was approached to direct or pen the script for Dabangg 3.

Sabbir had told Mumbai Mirror tabloid that he was approached to pen and/or even direct Dabangg 3. 

Sabbir Khan was quoted as saying: “I’ve started working on a plan for Dabangg 3 but I can’t say anything until the paperwork is finalised. I am in talks and am really happy that I was one of directors selected to work on the final script.” 

Dabangg 3 has been in the pipeline for long. While Salman himself is keen to return as Chulbul Pandey, the superstar has picked other films ahead of Dabangg 3 as there was no script ready.

Salman is currently filming for Tiger Zinda Hai and will then begin shooting for choreographer-director Remo D’Souza’s next.
