Actor Salman Khan has revealed that Dabangg was originally a dark film with its lead character, Chulbul Pandey being \u201cout and out negative.\u201d Directed by Abhinav Kashyap, the 2010 film featured Salman as Pandey, a fearless yet corrupt police officer with unorthodox working methods. It received critical acclaim and was a blockbuster upon its release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a group interview, Salman revealed that before him, actor Randeep Hooda and his brother Arbaaz Khan were approached for the project. \u201cIt was a very dark film, small film to be made under Rs 2 crore. At that point of time, it had Randeep Hooda and Arbaaz. So Arbaaz said he has been approached for this and it\u2019s a good one so just hear it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen 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.\u201d Salman said he then suggested changes to Arbaaz and Abhinav incorporated them. \u201cThat film didn\u2019t have any action, certainly not at this scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salman said after the film became a success, they asked Abhinav to make a sequel but he was not so inclined. \u201cWe asked him to do the second one but for whatever reasons he said he didn\u2019t want do it, that we didn\u2019t let him make his film.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
