Awaiting dates from Salman for Dabangg 3 : Arbaaz

Arbaaz Khan is working on the script of Dabangg 3 starring Salman Khan.

Actor-turned-director Arbaaz Khan today said he was waiting for his brotherSalman Khan to give him dates for Dabangg 3. Dabangg (2010), in which Salman had played the lead, marked the Bollywood debut of Sonakshi Sinha. The film produced by Arbaaz Khan and directed by Abhinav Kashyap was a blockbuster.

Its sequel saw the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor and Rowdy Rathore actress reprising their roles. It was directed and produced by Arbaaz. Now the third part of Dabangg is being planned. "This is the man (Salman) who will give me the window (dates) otherwise he will show me the door," Arbaaz said. The trailer of Salman and Arbaaz's brother Sohail Khan's upcoming directorial venture Freaky Ali was launched here today. The film stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Amy Jackson, Arbaaz and others.

On the occasion, Salman said in a lighter vein, "Why did you (media) remind him (Arbaaz) about the film. Had forgotten about Dabangg 3. But yes, we are working on the script."

In Freaky Ali, Nawazuddin plays Ali, a poor man whose his journey starts from being a nobody to being the master of a sport which is considered a rich man's game. The film will trace the story of an extortionist who turns into a star golf player in a bid to win the love of his life, played by Amy Jackson.

About his character in Freaky Ali, Arbaaz said, "I play Maqsood in the film who is a side kick. He is a gangster, a petty thief, extortionist and when Ali (Nawazuddin's character) is in trouble, he helps him. Ali and I share up and down equation." Freaky Ali is set to be released on September 9.
