Salman Khan Working On Dabangg Spin-Off With Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan Director Atlee? Know Here – News18

Here’s some good news for all Salman Khan fans. If a recent report is to be believed, the superstar met Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan director Atlee recently at his Galaxy Apartment residence in Mumbai to discuss a Dabangg spin-off. Reportedly, Atlee will be “creatively involved in the making” of the film but might not be directing it.

“Atlee, Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan have discussed Dabangg spin-off to bring back the most iconic cop, Chulbul Pandey to the lives of people. It could be a co-production of Arbaaz Khan with Atlee and Salman Khan, however, Atlee might not direct the film,” a source cited by Bollywood Hungama claimed.

“It’s an offer made by Salman and Arbaaz to Atlee, but the dynamic director is yet to agree and get back on the same,” the source added.

The report further claimed that this is only an offer made to Atlee by Salman and the former has not officially come on board yet. “Salman and Arbaaz are eager to bring a director from South to direct Dabangg spin-off and have discussed the plans of making the franchise Pan India with Atlee. The Jawan director will discuss the idea of the Dabangg spin-off with his director friends in the South and see how things can be worked out,” the insider told the entertainment portal.

While there is no official confirmation regarding Salman and Atlee’s meeting as of now, it will be a treat for fans if the director works with ‘Chulbul Pandey’ after his blockbuster hit Jawan, which set the box office on fire in September 2023.

Dabangg is Salman Khan’s one of the most popular film franchises. It features the star as a fierce cop, Chulbul Pandey. While the first Dabangg movie was released in 2010, the next two films in the franchise hit theatres in 2012 and 2019 respectively. All three Dabangg movies were widely loved by the audience and performed well at the box office.
