As per earlier reports in Mumbai Mirror, Salman is shedding his extra kilos for his younger role in Dabangg 3. Talking about it, a source stated to the tabloid, "In the flashback portions, Chulbul is a man in his 20s, and Salman has been hitting the gym to get the required look." In the flashback scenes, the superstar will be seen romancing another female lead and not Sonakshi Sinha, who plays the role of his onscreen wife Rajjo in the franchise. The source added, "While it’s Rajjo in the current era, the flashback features another actress."

Dabangg 3 is slated to release in December this year.
