Development
After the release of Dabangg, producer Arbaaz Khan announced that he is currently planning an sequel to Dabangg.[4] Soon after the blockbuster collections of the film, Khan reported "Dabangg 2 may take time to hit the floors, but it is definitely on the cards."[5] He also announced that the main leads, Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha were already casted to reprise their parts in the sequel.[6] Her main look was also taken from the first and consisted of a yellow saree, a long plait with flowers in her hair.[7] When director Abhinav Kashyap opted out of directing the sequel, Arbaaz Khan himself jumped in as the film's director.[8] Prakash Raj was confirmed to have been chosen to play the main villain.[9] Kareena Kapoor has been roped in to play an item number in the film,[10][11] [12] despite initial reports considering Katrina Kaif for the role.[13]Reportedly, distribution rights were sold to UTV Motion Pictures for a price of
140 crore, the highest for a Bollywood film till date.[14] But later UTV Motion Pictures
reported it completely fake & nonsense news. UTV Motion Pictures
has brushed aside rumours of purchasing the rights of the sequel to
Salman Khan-Sonakshi Sinha starrer, Dabangg 2 for 140 crore.[15]Filming
Shooting for the film was slated to begin in March 2012.[16] The producers announced plans to shoot the film in Kanpur.[17] A set depicting the city of Kanpur was created at the Kamalistan Studios in Mumbai, where the first schedule of the film was shot.[18] The entire studio was rented for the film, making it a first in Bollywood.[19] The phase consisted of shooting a qawwali song under neon lights.[20] Following the shoot, filming is expected to take place in film city in Mumbai. The last schedule has been planned to be shot at Satara.[18] Three days after the film went on floors, it was reported that Salman Khan replaced cinematographer, K. K. Senthil Kumar, with Aseem Kumar.[21] A song titled "Fevicol" was choreographed as a dance number and considered as an equivalent to "Munni Badnaam Hui" from Dabangg.[22] Reports indicating that Salman would essay an important involvement in the director's role were dismissed by Arbaaz.[23] It was also reported that Salman Khan bought the scenes from Gabbar Singh (Telugu Remake of Dabangg) for a whopping Rs 50 lakhs and sources said that the scenes include the Antyakshari scene, the cutout episode with Brahmanandam and the Kabaddi scene.[24]Soundtrack
