Actor Santosh Shukla is on cloud nine these days and the reason is Salman Khan. Santosh is back with an important role in the third installment of the Dabangg Franchise.

Santosh, who played the role of villain in Salman Khan starrer ‘Jai Ho’ will play a vital role in the film. It is for the second time that Santosh will share screen with his favourite Super Star Salman Khan

Talking about the same, Santosh Shukla says, “Working with superstars is a win-win situation, as one, not only gain experience and grows as an actor but also gets a chance to reach out to a wider audience. I can’t even express my excitement. Thanks to Salman Bhai who has recognized my potential and given me my first break in the film ‘Jai Ho’. I am grateful and more than happy that ‘Dabangg 3’ is the outcome of my hard work.”

The Dabangg franchise took off in 2010 and the sequel as well was equally successful. Dabangg 3 is an action film directed by Prabhu Deva and produced by Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan under their respective banners of Salman Khan Films and Arbaaz Khan Productions.
