‘I have never seen Atlee.’
When questioned by the tabloid if he and Salman had recently met Atlee to discuss a project, Arbaaz responded, “It’s just a rumour that Salman, Atlee, and I have met. I have never met Atlee in my life. I have never seen him, let alone met him. You shouldn’t believe (the rumours) too much until you hear it directly from the source.” Atlee had recently made his Bollywood debut with Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, and fans were excited at the thought of Salman working with the director.
‘Nothing has been decided.’
Arbaaz was also asked about the possibility of making Dabangg 4, despite the fact that Dabangg 3 did not fare as well as the first two films. Abhinav Kashyap directed the first part, Arbaaz directed the second, and Prabhu Deva directed the third.
When asked if a fourth installment was in the works and if he would direct it, Arbaaz replied, “Right now, both of us are in the middle of our (upcoming projects). He is about to shoot a film with Sajid Nadiadwala. Salman is adamant that he wants to do Dabangg 4, and so am I. We’ll do it when the timing is appropriate. I’m not sure if I will direct it. I’d love to, but nothing has been decided yet.
Upcoming Work
Arbaaz was last seen in the 2023 film Farrey and was recently said to have married makeup artist Shura Khan. Salman was last seen in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and Tiger 3, with a cameo in Pathaan.
