Earlier in December 2015, Ranveer Singh’s film ‘Bajirao Mastani’ clashed with Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dilwale’ at the box office.This year, Ranveer might find himself in a similar spot, but with another Khan and that is none other than Salman Khan. Speaking about the ‘Dabangg 3’ the source said, “The plan is to begin the movie this year and wrap it in one goes so that it can be released at the end of 2018.”


The source also said that there will be no clash with ‘Zero’, “Even though Salman knows that he will miss out on the Christmas weekend, he has made it clear to his team that he won’t clash with Zero at any cost.”


A source revealed, “Dabangg 3 will probably come a week later, which means it will battle it out with Rohit Shetty’s ‘Simmba’ (a remake of the Telugu blockbuster Temper). But nothing is confirmed right now.” This will not only lead to a clash between Ranveer and Salman, but also between two cop stories.


The source also revealed, “Ranveer plays a corrupt policeman Sangram Bhalerao aka Simmba in Rohit’s film and from the first look, it seems like the character is on the lines of Salman’s Chulbul Pandey in Dabangg and Ajay Devgn’s Singham. Salman, as usual, will return to playing his Robinhood character.”


Salman revealed his schedule for the year, “Dabangg 3’s script is ready. I’ll shoot for it between the schedules of ‘Bharat’, which is Atul and Alvira Agnihotri’s production. The movie, which is being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, requires some gaps during its filming.”


A source revealed, “Salman wraps ‘Race 3’ by April. It will release in June. He will also finish his commitment to the second season of ‘Dus Ka Dum’ during that time. In June, he starts the first schedule of ‘Bharat’, which won’t be too long. He then takes a break from Ali’s film and plays Chulbul Pandey. He wraps up ‘Dabangg 3’ in a start-to-finish schedule and then goes back to shooting ‘Bharat’, which will be his Eid release for 2019. Then, he begins work on ‘Kick 2’ next year.”


Arbaaz Khan said, “I’ll comment when I’m sure of starting the film. Currently, I’m concentrating on the script. I’ll have a clear idea by the end of April.”
