Salman Khan’s Race 3 is falling at the box office with the collections at multiplexes decreasing. With Race3 not meeting the figures expected, Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan have decided that Salman Khan’s next should be Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat which also features Priyanka Chopra. While earlier there were reports that Dabangg 3 will hit the theatres over the Republic Day and Bharat will release on Eid. However, now according to reports, Arbaaz Khan has decided to push the release of the third instalment of Dabangg to the latter half of 2019.

According to a Trade source;  “Both films will be shot simultaneously from September. But the plan is to release Bharat first.” Trade analyst Taran Adarsh agrees that the adaptation of South Korean film, Ode To My Father will be given preference. He said; “Salman and Ali have a strong track record, so it has an edge over any other Salman film.”

Amod Mehra says instead of Dabangg, a serious film may add to Salman Khan’s reputation. “Salman needs to be part of a powerful story, similar to what he did with Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) and Sultan (2016). He has to restore his image as a bankable actor.” Atul Mohan says, “Dabangg 3 is a masala film, while Bharat offers something new. So it makes sense to release it first.”
