Dabangg 3 will see the superstar in an item song which is a recreation of Malaika Arora's 'Munni Badnaam Hui' from Dabangg. A report in DNA quoted, “The lyrics will undergo a drastic change too. And Salman has decided to wear the overcoat of this Badnami himself and the song will be called 'Munna Badnaam Hua.” 

There were speculations that ‘Naagin’ actress Mouni Roy will feature in the item song. However, recent reports from Pinkvilla state that its not Mouni but Loveyatri actress Warina Hussain who will be grooving alongside Khan. A source close to the actor informs, "Not Mouni, but Loveyatri actor Warina Hussain who stunned everyone with her debut movie will be seen getting playful with Khan in the song. This is a first item song for the superstar in decades and the team is making sure to live up to the hype. Ace choreographer, Vaibhavi Merchant is making sure to blend Salman's trademark moves with the new ones. The team is aiming to wrap the schedule in a month in Mumbai." 

The item song is being choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant and the superstar has already started shooting for the song in Mumbai. Talking about the film, Khan will be seen essaying two different looks, one as the young Chulbul and the other as the adult Chulbul. 

The film is slated to release on December 20, 2019.
