Production Development
During pre-production, Arbaaz Khan confirmed the project: "Yes, there's a 110% possibility that we will start Dabangg 2, but when that will happen is yet undecided. See, Salman has several commitments to fulfill, so Dabangg 2 will take some time to start. But it's definitely on the cards. "The main leads, Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha were cast to reprise their parts in the sequel. Sinha became the first actress to reprise her role in a sequel of a Bollywood film. Her main look was also taken from the first and consisted of a yellow saree, a long plait with flowers in her hair. Director Abhinav Kashyap was replaced by Arbaaz Khan as the film's director. Prakash Raj was confirmed to have been chosen to play the main villain. Kareena Kapoor was roped in to play an item number in the film, despite initial reports considering Katrina Kaif for the role.
