At that point of time, it had Randeep Hooda and Arbaaz. So Arbaaz said he has been approached for this and it&#8217;s a good one so just hear it.&#8221;Then six-eight months passed before I finally heard it. I think UTV was supposed to do it. I liked the feel of the film but Chulbul was out and out negative.&#8221;Salman said he then suggested changes to Arbaaz and Abhinav incorporated them.&#8221;That film didn&#8217;t have any action, certainly not at this scale. There were no songs and we never get to know who killed the mother&#8230; We started working on it and Abhinav agreed to all those changes. He did a very good job with the first one.&#8221;Salman said after the film became a success, they asked Abhinav to make a sequel but he was not so inclined.&#8221;We asked him to do the second one but for whatever reasons he said he didn&#8217;t want do it, that we didn&#8217;t let him make his film.&#8221;&#8221;Dabangg&#8221; marked Arbaaz&#8217;s foray into production. It&#8217;s third installment, &#8220;Dabangg 3&#8221; is now scheduled to release on December 20.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Superstar Salman Khan has revealed that &#8220;Dabangg&#8221; was originally a dark film with its lead character Chulbul Pandey being &#8220;out and out negative.&#8221;Directed by Abhinav Kashyap, the 2010 film featured Salman as Pandey, a fearless yet corrupt police officer with unorthodox working methods.
