The third film of the Dabangg franchise is directed by Prabhu Deva. The first film was directed by Anurag Kashyap's brother Abhinav Kashyap, while Dabangg 2 was directed by Salman's brother Arbaaz Khan.

Dabangg 3 will also see Sonakshi Sinha reprise her role of Rajjo. Mahesh Manjrekar's daughter Saiee Manjrekar is making her big Bollywood debut with the cop drama.
