It all started off with 'Wanted' and ever since then there has been no looking back.

Though he has tried to restrain himself in films like 'Ek Tha Tiger', 'Ready' and 'Bodyguard', it is Salman Khan's larger than life persona that has stayed on with the audience and also remembered the most.

In fact despite the fact that 'Ek Tha Tiger' has collected over 200 crores worldwide, there is a large segment of audience which missed seeing Salman of yore. Well, come December and there won't be any complains as 'Dabangg 2' director Arbaaz Khan promises that audience will get to see what they expect from him.

"Yes, there is everything in the film that audience would expect from their 'dabangg' hero", smiles Arbaaz who is currently shooting for the film in Kanpur, "The film by itself has a larger than life setting while Salman too would be seen as a larger than life character. You would see heroism and all that is Chulbul Pandey's trait. How could I not give that to audience?"

What works in the favour of everyone involved with 'Dabangg 2' is the fact that everything about it has already been set which means the narrative and its central protagonist can get into motion from the very beginning with no real time being spent in setting up scene and characters.

"Yes, the film's basic construction is already in place and we have further built upon that.

We know that people are going to expect something spectacular from the film and hence a lot of thought went into the script before the shooting began", says Arbaaz, "It is as simple as that; if I was a fan of 'Dabangg' then there are certain elements that I would like to see.

So what you see in 'Dabangg 2' is basically a reflection of what I would have liked to see in the film's sequel."

With Sonakshi Sinha in the lead, Prakash Raj as the villain and Arbaaz Khan also featuring in it, 'Dabangg 2' has music by Sajid-Wajid and is all set for 21st December release.
