The latest movie in the Dabangg franchise will go on floors mid-2018, shared filmmaker Arbaaz Khan, adding that the movie has already been scripted, reported Indian media.

"Yes, we have started scripting the film and I think we will start shooting 'Dabangg 3' by the middle of the next year," the Hello Brother actor told the media during the trailer launch of his new movie, Tera Intezaar.

When asked if Arbaaz will cast his Tera Intezaar co-star Sunny Leone in an item number, such as Munni Badnaam and Fevicol Se, he responded: "Yes, why not? And why would she be a Munni, we can cast her for something different, but for that, we have to finalise something."

Speaking about his upcoming project, Arbaaz shared that he is excited to have shared screen space with Sunny Leone."One of the reasons I did the film, was to spend some time with Sunny. She is wonderful and we had a great time shooting in abroad,? he remarked.

Tera Intezaar is expected to release on November 24.
