​The high-voltage tongue-in-cheek crime caper film, part of the "Dabangg" series, tells the story of a cop named "Chulbul Panday" from the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh who ironically calls himself "Robin Hood Pandey". 

Chulbul delights in flexing his muscles, picking fights, causing chaos and instead of arresting violent thieves, robbing the robbers.

The first “Dabangg” movie hit the theatres in 2010 covering nearly 2,100 cinemas worldwide and went on to gross $47 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing Bollywood film that year.

The second instalment of the series “Dabangg 2” released in 2012 and grossed over $37 million at the worldwide box office.

Riding on the success of the prequels of “Dabangg 3”, the cast of the movie has dubbed the upcoming movie in three Indian regional languages – Telugu, Tamil and Kannada, and it is slated for release on 20 December.

For the sake of promotion, Salman has changed his name to “Chulbul Panday” on social media
