Arbaaz blocks Salman’s dates for Dabanng

Even as Arbaaz Khan looks forward to the release of Kisaan that sees him teaming up with brother and producer of the film Sohail Khan in a “family drama” set against the backdrop of rural Punjab, he is busy with his debut production - Dabanng. The actor-turned-producer confirmed he has almost finished with the pre-production work on the film, with dates of the lead actors - Salman Khan and Sonakshi, who will be sharing screen space with Arbaaz himself - blocked. Work on the film is scheduled to start mid-September with the unit travelling across towns and cities in India, including Wai in Maharashtra and Jaipur in Rajasthan. While other locations are in the process of being finalised in a week’s time, Arbaaz is confident that the entire film will be shot within the country. This, as according to him, the story demands to be shot on locations around India. With a start-to-finish schedule in the offing, Arbaaz revealed that he is aiming to wrap-up the film by December. The film sees Salman Khan playing a corrupt cop and cousin to Arbaaz.
