Salman Khan's 'Dabangg 3' NOT to be directed by Arbaaz Khan

Salman Khan, who will soon be reprising his role of Chulbul Pandey from 'Dabangg' in the third instalment of the series, has confirmed that the movie will not be directed by his brother Arbaaz. The superstar asserted that Arbaaz himself isn't keen to get into direction this time and would like to be a producer for 'Dabangg 3'. Khan also stated that he will be lookin for a good director for the movie.

"Now we are going to start 'Dabangg 3', so he (Arbaaz) told me 'Very good, but I am not going to direct it and I am only producing it'. So I said, 'Very good, we will find a good director for that," Salman was quoted as saying.

Interestingly, Salman's both brothers - Sohail and Arbaaz- have tried their hands on direction with the 'Sultna' actor.

While Sohail has directed Salman in films like 'Auzaar', 'Jai Ho', 'Hello Brother' and 'Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya', Arbaaz has directed Salman in only one movie 'Dabangg 2'.

So when quizzed about who is his favourite director amongst the two, he stated, "Since Arbaaz doesn't want to direct, I feel Sohail is a better director because he is more patient and with Sohail, you can improvise on things but in a similar situation, Arbaaz gets panicked and his blood pressure starts to fluctuate."

Salman will soon be seen sharing the screen space with his brother Sohail in their upcoming release 'Tubelight', wherein they will reprise their real-life relationship on the big screen.

Helmed by Kabir Khan, the movie is set with a backdrop of 1962 Indo-Chinese war. Also starring Chinese actress Zhu Zhu in the lead, 'Tubelight' is slated to release on June 23.
