The much-awaited action film Dabangg 3 is all set to hit the theatres on December 20 this year. But ahead of the film release, the makers will launch the trailer of Salman Khan starrer in Mumbai. The film, which marks Salman’s return as Chulbul ‘Robinhood’ Pandey, will see Sonakshi Sinha and Arbaaz Khan reprising their respective roles.
The upcoming franchise has two new characters.

Saiee will be playing the role of Khushi. The makers are yet to reveal anything more about the character.
Dabangg franchise started in the year of 2010. While the first film was directed by Abhinav Kashyap, Dabangg 2 was directed by Arbaaz Khan. The third franchise will see Prabhudheva at the director’s chair. Salman and Prabhudeva have previously worked together in the 2009 film Wanted.
Arbaaz Khan, who also co-produced Dabangg 3, said Salman is “conscious” of fan expectations regarding the series and Salman’s character Chulbul Pandey.

Salman Khan on Radhe being a sequel of Wanted, "We have taken the name Radhe from there but it is not a sequel. If you ask me, I would say, it is the 'baap' of Wanted."
Salman Khan said, "I am very excited for this film to release. I am waiting to see how the fans will appreciate the film. We have done a lot of 'mehnat'. I have worked much harder for this one that I did in Tiger Zinda Hai. We have taken some tough creative calls, and over all a lot of effort has gone in this one."
Salman Khan has written Dabangg 3. At the launch, he said, "I have written the film, so this film is for the critics (laughs)."
Salman Khan shared at the trailer launch, "We have 'Munna Badnam Hua' this time. It is a different song, it is not the same song as 'Munni Badnaam Hui'".
Salman Khan said, "We have had South films (releasing) and they have done well here. Now, I think it is our time. The film is a proper entertainer, people should like it there too."
Salman Khan said, "Prabhudheva is very chilled out, but he is very particular, he makes me take many takes."
Salman Khan spoke about franchise films and said, "Not all film franchises work well. We have worked very hard on this one. The film is not only an action film, it is a total entertainer."
Saiee M Manjrekar expressed at the trailer launch that Dabangg 3 feels like a dream. She said, "I was very anxious before I came here, but every thing was so well planned, now I am relaxed. It feels like a dream."
After watching the trailer, Indianexpress.com's Komal writes, "Salman Khan is Chulbul Pandey again, and while to play a younger Rajjo, the makers have roped in Saiee Manjrekar, Salman Khan plays his younger version himself. There is nothing new when it comes to action sequences, but the trailer has everything to convey that this is a paisa-vasool masala film. It is a mix of dated comedy, and dated dialogues."
