Bollywood star Salman Khan starrer “Dabangg” franchise has been liked by many of his fans for his effortless portrayal of corrupt cop Chulbul Pandey.
The film starred Sonakshi Sinha and Salman’s younger brother Arbaaz. However the last released offering from the franchise “Dabangg 3” didn’t do well at the box office and now the news is that the franchise is set to get an animated version.
Confirming the news, Arbaaz Khan says that it will feature the animated avatars of all popular characters of the franchise including Chhedi Singh (played by Sonu Sood in the films), Rajjo (Sonakshi Sinha) and Prajapatiji (played by the late Vinod Khanna).
“Dabangg’s biggest USP is that it is a complete family entertainer and, thus, the next logical step to further grow the franchise was to enter the animation space. The medium offers unparalleled creative freedom with storytelling, and we can focus on shorter standalone stories in lieu of longer, linear narratives.”
“Chulbul’s persona is larger than life and in animation his adventures will be showcased as never seen before,” said Salman’s brother Arbaaz Khan, producer of the original Dabangg series, in an interview with Hindustan times.
Cosmos – Maya, an animated Studio, have been given the rights to produce the project.
