'Dabangg 4' has fallen in place: Salman Khan

Superstar Salman Khan said he is glad the fourth instalment of his "Dabangg" franchise has already fallen in place.

The superstar is back in the avatar of cop Chulbul Pandey with "Dabangg 3", directed by Prabhudeva. But Salman has already started looking at the fourth chapter in the series and is ready to work on it.

"It is very difficult (to take a franchise forward). But this one has fallen in place. Even the fourth one has fallen in place. It happens sometimes, like 'Rocky' or 'Rambo' series, which falls in place. So this one has too," Salman said in a group interview.

The actor said "Dabangg 3" is "semi-prequel" as it chronicles both past and present.

"I came up with a thought and Arbaaz and I just kept on improvising, brainstorming. We wanted to start from the present and go in the past to track the journey of Chulbul Pandey and how his past comes in his present. It's not entirely a prequel. The whole film isn't set in the past. It's semi-prequel."
