Rubbishing the reports, Arbaaz posted on his Twitter account that his brother Sohail is not going to act in the second installment of his film.

“'Dabangg' sequel starts mid next year and doesn't have my brother Sohail acting in it like some newspapers reported,” tweeted Arbaaz.

Salman to pen down the script
It’s heard that Salman may be penning down the script for the upcoming entertainer 'Dabangg 2'. This would be the second time when Salman will be seen turning a script writer for a film, after his damp squib ‘Veer’.

The second installment of 'Dabangg' will see Arbaaz in the director’s chair, holding a megaphone, and Salman authoring the story and screenplay.

Apart from Salman and Arbaaz, the other two stars, Sonu Sood and actress Sonakshi Sinha, who were part of the first film 'Dabangg', will also be seen in the sequel.

'Dabangg 2' to begin from January 2012
The Khan brothers have made up their mind to start the shooting for the ‘Dabangg’ sequel from next year, and it’s learnt that the film will go on floors from January 2011.

Confirming about ‘Dabangg 2’, a source close to the family stated, "Arbaaz will start the ‘Dabangg’ sequel in early 2012. Since he`s directing it, there are more responsibilities on him than the last time, and he doesn`t want to rush in unprepared. The sequel has to match upto ‘Dabangg,’ and to ensure that, the director has to prep a lot.”

“'Dabangg 2' will be a continuation of the first. The film will pick up where it ended and Salman, Sonakshi, Sonu Sood will make an appearance in the part 2 as well. Rest of the cast is being worked out. Arbaaz has got the first draft and he will start working on it,” further added the source.
