Salman Khan shot extensively with Katrina Kaif in Ireland for 'Ek Tha Tiger' and came back with pleasant memories.

The experience was good and the film turned into a blockbuster as well. No wonder, he wanted to revisit the country for 'Dabangg 2' as well.

However his dream turned sour due to extremely poor weather conditions that resulted in Arbaaz Khan dropping plans for the shoot there and hunt for an alternate location.

"If things would have stayed as per plans, 'bhai' would have already started shooting for 'Dabangg 2' by now", informs our source, "There is a song sequence planned between him and Sonakshi and Arbaaz too was convinced that Ireland was the best place for that.

While 'Ek Tha Tiger' was shot inside the city, Arbaaz wanted to shoot 'Dabangg 2' on the countryside."

In fact Arbaaz travelled with his technical team last week for a recce and all formalities had been taken care of as well.

However just when it was time for Salman and rest of the 45 members crew to fly down from India to Ireland, the shoot had to be cancelled.

"Yes, we had to drop our plans", sighs Arbaaz, "It had started raining and weather forecast wasn't encouraging for next 10 days either.

It would have been futile for all of us to sit there and wait for the skies to clear up. We will have to shoot somewhere else though it would have to be a foreign location."

He insists though that this won't result in film's overall schedule being slipped and 'Dabangg 2' would release as planned.

While Arbaaz's team is scouting for another location, Salman has thrown Turkey as a suggestion where he shot for 'Ek Tha Tiger'.
