Salman Khan was ruling over many hearts after playing a jolly cop role in the film Dabangg. Bhaijaan’s acting skills confirmed none other than him was able to play that character in the way Salman did. Robinhood policeman, Chulbul Pandey became one of the most adorable characters in the industry of jocund family drama film.

Chulbul Pandey holds the ground in his dialogue, “Hamara naam hamari personality ko shobha deta hai” all over the movie. All his famous witty dialogues made us roll on the floor with laughter.

Salman Was Not the First Choice

Did you know, he was not the first choice of the filmmakers? In the mind, they were bearing two other actors for the character Chulbul Pandey.

Revelation by Arbaaz Khan

The character played by Salman in the movie as Chulbul Pandey had won our hearts. Those effortless comedies and the hook dance in ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’ by Robinhood were the essence of the blockbuster movie.

Salman Khan’s elder brother Arbaaz Khan disclosed the names of the two actors who were the prior choice for the lead role in the movie Dabangg.

Who was the First Choice?

The director of the movie, Abhinav Kashyap wanted Irrfan Khan or Randeep Hooda to play the character Chulbul Pandey. But none of them were finalized. Abhinav offered to be the producer to Arbaaz Khan and also questioned about Slaman. He asked, “What if we got Salman Khan on board as Pandey ji?” After questioning, he instantly got himself excited by the self-imagination. Hence, we all know who won the war.
