Salman Khan's 'Dabangg 3' has special connection with his late grandfather; find out

Mumbai: Superstar Salman Khan recently shared a video on social media ahead of beginning Dabangg 3 shoot in Indore.

Ironically, Salman Khan who plays a cop himself in the film will be shooting for a song from Dabangg 3 in Maheshwar, same location where his grandfather was posted.

Salman's dad, Salim Khan was also born in Indore but as kids, they use to always visit their father during summer vacations in Maheshwar.

Salman is all set to reprise his Dabangg character, Chulbul Pandey a bent cop for the third time.

Salman shared the video captioning, “Arbaaz and I have just landed in Indore where we were both born. Then we are going to Mandleshwar and Maheshwar to shoot for Dabangg where our grandfather was posted when he was in the police force.”

The actor has shared the image of the Mahurat shot, commencing the Dabangg journey. Further, creating more anticipation, Salman Khan also treated his fans by sharing a picture in Dabangg style by handing his shades towards the back collar.

On the work front, Salman Khan will next be seen in Ali Abbas Zafar's Bharat alongside Katrina Kaif.
