Arbaaz Khan says Dabangg franchise is solely dependent on superstar Salman Khan and cannot move forward with another name. As a third film in the franchise is currently being shot which will see Salman reprise his role as a cop named Chulbul Pandey, Arbaaz said unlike James Bond spy films, the team cannot go looking for another actor after every two odd years.

"'Dabangg' is an actor-driven franchise. It took us seven years to make the third part and we don't know how much time it will take to make the fourth one. It is dependent on one actor, Salman Khan.
