Salman Khan Confirms Dabangg 4 Is In The Writing Stage

Mumbai, December 6 - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will be returning as Chulbul Pandey in the 4th installment of Dabangg. Over the years, Dabangg has become one of the most loved film franchises. Though Dabangg 3 received criticism for direction and performances, the franchise is still a crowd-puller which makes Salman continue to associate with it. ## There have been a lot of talks around Dabangg regarding when it will go on floors and who is going to direct it. In a recent interview, Salman Khan revealed that the movie is currently in the writing stage and will soon be on the ground. Earlier, the superstar hinted at some changes in the upcoming film and said that it will be different from the first three films. ## The Sultan actor is undoubtedly the biggest star and crowd puller, but he has been receiving criticism for not doing justice to his talent by picking wrong scripts and underperformed directors. However, his latest release, "Antim: The Final Truth", which is directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, is winning praises for Salman who played a Sikh cop. In "Antim", Salman's cop is more realistic with no illogical action and cheesy lines, and fans are liking him for the portrayal of Rajveer Singh. ## Meanwhile, Dabangg 4 is just one of the many films Salman Khan is working on at the moment. He is currently shooting for the most-awaited "Tiger 3", which gears up to release in the second half of 2022. The YRF biggie is being directed by Maneesh Sharma and also features Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi in the key roles. ## After completing "Tiger 3", Salman will commence filming for Sajid Nadiadwala's "Kabhie Eid Kabhi Diwali". Then he will be reuniting with Sooraj Barjatya for a film. It has been a long time since Salman has done a comedy film and the wait will end with Anees Bazmee's film that may start rolling towards the end of 2022. He also has already announced Kick 2 with Nadiadwala under the pipeline. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Tadap Packs A Solid Punch At The BO In The Opening Weekend

Released on December 3, "Tadap" netted Rs. 13.52 crores in the first three days, which is a great result of a debutante, even in the pre-covid level. ## The Sajid Nadiadwala's production, also featuring Tara Sutaria as the female lead, opened to Rs. 4.05 crores on Friday with a slight jump (1.79%) on Saturday for Rs. 4.12 crores. For the Sunday holiday, "Tadap" jumped by nearly 30% for a healthy Rs. 5.35 crores, taking its 3-day total to Rs. 13.52 crores.## Directed by Milan Lutharia, "Tadap" was way ahead of Salman Khan, Ayush Sharma, and Mahima Makawana-starrer "Antim: The Final Truth", which netted an estimated total of Rs. 5.48 crores over the second weekend. However, "Antim" showed growth over the second weekend, taking its 10-days total India net to Rs. 34.83 crores and worldwide gross to Rs. 47.2 crores (approx.). ## Made in a budget of around Rs. 20 crores, "Tadap" has so far grossed approx Rs. 19 crores worldwide. The box office collection so far for the remake of the Telugu movie "RX100" is a big relief for the Bollywood film industry.

All the doubts are gone now, and the eyes will be on how it performs over the weekdays for the healthy first week total. ## Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar-fronted "Sooryavanshi" is going strong at the box despite being available on Netflix. The Rohit Shetty-directed netted an estimate of Rs. 85 lakh on the 5th Sunday (31st day) to finish the 5th weekend with Rs. 1.87 crores. With Rs. 193.21 crores India net so far, it has grossed Rs. 288.7 crores worldwide.
