Has Dabangg 3 been postponed?

Salman Khan is undeniably one of the busiest personalities of Bollywood. The actor, who just turned 52, is currently enjoying the success of Tiger Zinda Hai. Alongside, he’s already started shooting for Race 3. In fact, on his birthday, his upcoming project Bharat, to be released in Id 2019, was announced too.

However, there’s a not-so-good news for Bhai’s fans, who wish to see him as inspector Chulbul Pandey in Dabangg 3 soon. A source close to the development tells us that the movie has been postponed, and the wait to see Salman in the movie has become longer.

“Since the actor has back-to-back commitments, Dabangg 3 will only be shot after the other films,” the source says. “Also, the makers are still scripting the project, and will not begin shooting for it, unless they’re extremely sure about it. Considering it’s a very successful franchise, these are precautionary measures.”

Meanwhile, Bharat, which was announced this week, will be co-produced by Bhushan Kumar and Salman’s brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri. And with this new movie taking up the 2019 Id slot, we wonder if Dabangg 3 will see the light of day only in 2020.
