Arbaaz Khan on why he was against directing ‘Dabangg 3’

Arbaaz Khan will be handing over his director duties to Prabhudheva for the third instalment of the super successful ‘Dabangg’ franchise.

Talking about this, Khan was cited in Deccan Chronicle saying, “I wanted the franchise to have a fresh feel to it. I did it with ‘Dabangg 2’. At this point, I felt a lot of things were happening in my life (referring to his separation from wife Malaika Arora), and that time there was only discussion about ‘Dabangg 2’.

“Directing, producing and acting is a big responsibility. You need to be in a good state of mind and not have things going on at the back of your mind. I felt it was not the right time to (direct) do it, maybe later, I will do it.”

He also spoke about whether his personal life came in between his professional work. He said, “No. Not really. When you are making a film of that magnitude, you need to be focused and interested and in a (good) state of mind. I was focusing on other aspects of my life, I felt direction could take a back seat.”
