Salman Khan shared a heartfelt message for late actor Vinod Khanna from the sets of Dabangg 3 on the veteran’s birthday on Sunday 6 October. Salman and his crew were celebrating the wrap of shooting on the upcoming sequel and remarked on the happy coincidence of the film’s packup taking place on Vinod’s birthday. Vinod starred in the first two Dabangg films and played the part of Salman’s character Chulbul Pandey’s father Prajapati Pandey.
Salman posted the video on his Twitter and Instagram late Sunday evening with the simple caption, “#Dabangg3.” In the video, Salman shares a few word about the film wrapping up and Vinod Khanna’s birthday while being standing on set with director Prabhudeva and the rest of the film’s team. The video eventually zooms out to reveal the entire crew of the film saying together, “We miss you VK sir. God bless you.”
Take a look at the video below.
Earlier, Salman had shared that Vinod’s brother Pramod Khanna will be playing the role of Prajapati Pandey in Dabangg 3.
