After
All
The
Best,
Golmaal,
and
Partner,
say
hello
to
another
serialized
franchise.
Yeah!
The
film
Dabangg's
sequel
is
on
for
sure
now.
It
was
on
the
cards
from
even
before
the
release
of
Dabangg
when
the
film"s
team
had
sensed
the
oncoming
mass
appeal
of
the
ruralised
hero
Chulbul
Pandey
(Salman
Khan).
Producer
Arbaaz
Khan,
who
is
at
the
moment
laughing
all
the
way
to
the
bank,
said,
“Yes
a
sequel
is
definitely
on
the
cards.
And
why
just
a
sequel?
The
film
and
the
main
character
has
the
potential
to
be
carried
forward
through
various
channels."
On
Saturday
evening,
at
an
Eid
party
at
Salman"s
Bandra
residence,
attended
by
the
Khan
family
and
the
Dabangg
team-
members
(and
for
some
inexplicable
reason
Aftab
Shivdasani)
the
decision
to
go
ahead
with
Dabangg
2
was
locked
in.
Super-charged
by
the
roaring
welcome
given
by
audiences
to
Dabangg
he
suggested
during
the
Eid
party
that
the
sequel
should
be
done
sooner
than
later.
Details
were
immediately
discussed.
And
Abhinav
Kashyap
who
will
again
direct,
has
been
briefed
on
how
the
story
goes
forward.
According
to
a
source,
the
core
cast
of
Salman
Khan,
Sonakshi
Sinha
and
Sonu
Sood
will
remain
unchanged.
But
the
plot
will
now
move
away
from
the
UP
hinterland
into
a
large
city,
probably
Mumbai.
Sonu
Sood
who
plays
the
small
town
goon-politician
will
play
a
double
role
in
the
sequel.
Sood"s
character
Chedi
Singh
will
now
have
twin
brother.
Confirming
these
developments
Sonu
Sood
says,
“Salman
was
the
most
charged
person
at
his
Eid
party.
We
were
all
in
a
mood
to
celebrate.
When
Salman
suggested
we
do
the
sequel,
we
started
discussing
it
very
seriously.
I
can"t
reveal
too
many
details
at
the
moment.
But
yes
my
character,
Chedi
Singh,
will
have
a
twin
brother
in
the
sequel."
Apparently
Salman
was
kicked
by
the
idea
of
a
sequel
even
while
the
first
part
was
being
shot.
During
the
shooting
of
a
wedding
sequence
in
Dabangg
he
loudly
announced
a
sequel
to
the
entire
cast.
While
other
cast
and
crew
details
are
yet
to
be
finalized,
Dabangg
2
will
roll
at
year
end.
And
yes,
it
will
have
another
item
song
on
par
with
Malaika
Arora"s
Munni
badnaam
hui.
