So when is Salman Khan's Dabangg 3 coming out? That's one question that Salman Khan's fans are eager to know. For long, Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan, who produced both the Dabanng movies (and directed the second one), have been sitting on the project, before they officially announced the project. But the makers haven't confirmed when they will start the movie or when will it come out. There were rumours that Dabanng 3 will come out on the same date as Shah Rukh Khan's Zero, which makes zero sense as Salman would never clash with good friend SRK. There were other reports that it would have come two weeks before Zero.

Now as per a breaking report in Bollywood Hungama, there are speculation that Dabanng 3 will be coming out on January 25, 2019, thus looking to capitalise on the Republic Day weekend. Not a bad idea, right?

Well, until you realise that even Hrithik Roshan's much anticipated Super 30 is also coming out on the same day. The movie happens to be a biopic of Anand Kumar, a math genius from Bihar, who coached IIT aspirants to 100% success. The movie is directed by Vikas Bahl, the director of Queen and Shaandaar. Super 30 was earlier supposed to come out this year, before it got postponed to next year.

Now we have had two big movies clashing on the same. Why, even Hrithik Roshan's last movie Kaabil had clashed with Shah Rukh Khan's Raees during Republic Day weekend in 2017. The real question is if Dbanng 3 will even clash with Super 30 on that weekend.

For now, the shoot of the movie hasn't even started. Salman Khan is currently busy with Race 3, after which he will start shooting for the television show, Dus Ka Dum. In the meantime, director Ali Abbas Zafar has already starting pre-production for Bharat, which means that Salman Khan will be joining the shoot soon. So we wonder where will the star fit Dabanng 3 in this busy schedule of his?

Even if Salman, producer Arbaaz Khan and director Prabhu Deva manage to speed up the production, it would only mean a really rushed project since rest of the cast is yet to be finalised now.

So till there is an official confirmation from the makers of Dabanng 3, it would be better to give these speculations some rest.
