MID-DAY (June 8, 2017)

Salman Khan will collaborate with choreographer-filmmaker Prabhu Dheva the second time after 'Wanted', for the third instalment of the actor's hit 'Dabangg' franchise. Word is, choreographer-director Prabhudheva has been roped in to direct the Arbaaz Khan production, although an official announcement is yet to be made.

It was earlier speculated that Khan would collaborate with the director for a sequel to their 2009 actioner, 'Wanted', but the news was later dismissed.

Currently busy promoting war-drama 'Tubelight', Salman Khan confirmed that an association with Prabhu Dheva is on the cards. The film is expected to go on the floors after the 51-year-old completes shooting for Ali Abbas Zafar's 'Tiger Zinda Hai' and Remo D'Souza's currently-untitled dance film.

Talking about his much-anticipated collaboration with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Khan said, "We have been talking [about getting together] for long. [Bhansali's production house has] a great track record, so why not?"
