Salman Khan turns Dabangg cop in his late grandfather's jurisdiction

Salman Khan and Prabhudheva on the sets of Dabangg 3

Yesterday, the first scene that Salman Khan shot for the third outing of Dabangg was in his character Chulbul Pandey's trademark style - sunglasses slung over the back collar of his shirt. Helmed by Prabhudheva, the unit is shooting in Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh.

On Monday, Khan shared a video on social media ahead of beginning Dabangg 3 shoot in Indore.

Indore not only marks Salman's birthplace but is also special for another reason. Salman's grandfather, Abdul Rashid Khan was posted in Mandleshwar, south Indore for 12 years as a DIG of police back then.

Ironically, Salman Khan who plays a cop himself in the film will be shooting for a song from Dabangg 3 in Maheshwar, same location where his grandfather was posted. Salman's dad, Salim Khan was also born in Indore but as kids, they use to always visit their father during summer vacations in Maheshwar.
