Mahesh Manjrekar’s daughter Saiee is to play the love interest of Chulbul in Dabangg 3. Speaking about her casting, Arbaaz Khan said, “Salman has known Saiee for a while.

He also made a shocking revelation that Salman Khan was not the first choice for the character of Chulbul Pandey. “When Abhinav narrated the script to me, I asked him why he wasn’t offering me the role of the Robin Hood cop. But more than Chulbul, he saw me as Makkhi, which was an extension of my role in Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. He was looking to cast Randeep Hooda or Irrfan Khan as the lead then but neither of them had been finalised. I offered to produce the film for him and asked him what if we got Salman on board as Pandey ji. He was instantly excited and things quickly fell in place”, adds Arbaaz.
