Recently while promoting Tubelight, Salman Khan mentioned that his younger Arbaaz Khan would not be directing Dabangg 3. Now the latest buzz suggests that Prabhudeva might replace as director. A source says, "Salman has said that Arbaaz won’t be directing it, and they are said to have spoken to Prabhudeva about it. So he is likely to unite with Salman once again."
 
The actor-director duo previously worked together in Wanted, which went on to become a huge hit. There have been reports that Prabhudeva and producer Boney Kapoor are interested in making a sequel to it, starring Salman once again. But now, it looks like Prabhudeva will first take up Dabangg 3, which is set to go on floor by end of this year.
 
Salman is currently working on Tiger Zinda Hai with Katrina Kaif, and is expected to fly to Morocco for the next schedule.
