Mumbai: Prabhudheva has just finished directing Salman Khan in Dabangg 3 and has already plunged into directing the superstar in another project for his production house, Salman Khan Films. While Dabangg 3 is scheduled for a December 2019 release, Prabhudeva’s new film with Salman Khan aims for an Eid opening next year. What’s more, Salman plays a cop in both the films.
“It has to be a completely different character. Otherwise, the audience will say we are repeating. We are working on it. The target is Eid and we will make it on time. I work fast,” said Prabhudheva, currently on a two-day break in Chennai to meet his sons.
Prabhudeva has been a favourite with Salman Khan ever since they worked together as director and actor in the 2009 Eid blockbuster Wanted. He said Dabangg 3 is going to please Salmaniacs.
“It is a typical Salman Khan film. Doing a Dabangg film was a challenge to me. I was new to the Dabangg universe. Everyone else (in the unit) had worked in the first and second parts of the series. Of course, I had seen both the earlier films. So, I made an effort to get into the groove. Luckily for me I didn’t fall flat,” Prabhudeva said.
Because of the double commitments, Prabhudeva doesn’t get to spend much time with his children. So he made it a point to be with them for quality time. “I hardly get time to be with them. I enjoy working and I need to work to ensure their future. But I also need time to be with them,” signed off Prabhudeva.
