'Munna Badnaam Hua': Will Salman Khan step into Malaika Arora's shoes for 'Dabangg 3' item number?

Salman Khan began work on Dabangg 3 after the news about the film came out since a long time. The excited actor shared the beginning of his journey in his hometown Madhya Pradesh. Salman and Arbaaz Khan had gone to shoot in Madhya Pradesh, and were later joined by Sonakshi Sinha.

Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan and Sonakshi Sinha are now set to complete a schedule of Dabangg 3 in Mumbai. Amidst that, a report on The Asian Age states that the movie will feature an item number, but with a twist. The item number will not have a girl, but a boy. The boy too is no ordinary boy. According to the report, Salman Khan himself will turn an item boy for the movie.

A source informed that Salman Khan will feature in the recreation of Malaika Arora's 'Munni Badnaam Hui' from Dabangg. “Malaika Arora’s foot-tapping item number 'Munni Badnam Hui' will be re-created and will feature Salman. This time, it will be presented to the audiences with a different twist,” said the source.

The source also went on to inform that the song will be called 'Munna Badnaam Hua'. “The lyrics will undergo a drastic change too. And Salman has decided to wear the overcoat of this Badnami himself and the song will be called 'Munna Badnaam Hua',” added the source.

The report also went on to state that Salman Khan will be going back to college, before he joined the police department. In fact he has a younger blossoming love then. However the makers have not revealed anything about the young actress who college-going Salman will be romancing.

Directed by Wanted helmer Prabhudheva, Dabangg 3 stars Salman Khan as Chulbul Pandey, Sonakshi Sinha as Rajjo and Arbaaz Khan back as Makkhi.
