While the details are still speculative, the proposed spin-off is reportedly a collaboration between Arbaaz Khan's production company, Atlee, and Salman Khan. However, Atlee has not officially accepted the offer, and discussions are ongoing.

Atlee is expected to consult with his directorial peers in the South to explore how best to approach the project.
Although there has been no official confirmation of the meeting between Salman and Atlee, the prospect of Atlee working with Salman on a Dabangg spin-off is tantalizing for fans, especially considering Atlee's track record with the blockbuster success of "Jawan" in September 2023.
