Chulbul Pandey in 'Dabangg' was originally a negative character: Salman

Superstar Salman Khan has revealed that "Dabangg" was originally a dark film with its lead character Chulbul Pandey being "out and out negative."
"Then six-eight months passed before I finally heard it. I think UTV was supposed to do it. I liked the feel of the film but Chulbul was out and out negative."
"That film didn't have any action, certainly not at this scale. There were no songs and we never get to know who killed the mother... We started working on it and Abhinav agreed to all those changes. He did a very good job with the first one."

"We asked him to do the second one but for whatever reasons he said he didn't want do it, that we didn't let him make his film."
