'Dabangg 2' making in full swing

Model-turned-actress Malaika Arora Khan says that production on the sequel of 2010 film "Dabangg" is in full swing and the team can hardly wait for its release.

The upcoming film will mark the directorial debut of the 39-year-old's actor husband Arbaaz Khan, who produced the first film. The film will again see Salman Khan reprise his cop act as Chulbul Pandey. According to a report in Times of India.

"We are all very excited about the release of the film. The preparations are on in full swing. We are eagerly awaiting the release of the film on December 21," said Malaika.

The actress's item number 'Munni Badnaam Hui' in 'Dabangg' was a chartbuster. When asked if she will be seeing doing anything similar in the sequel, she said, "Well you will have to wait and see when the film releases. I cannot disclose anything at the moment."

Actress Kareena Kapoor has been roped in to do an item number in the film. The main cast of the film - Sonakshi Sinha and Vinod Khanna - have been retained, except Sonu Sood. The new addition to the cast is southern star Prakash Raj, who plays the role of the main antagonist.

Malaika walked the ramp for designer Vikram Phadnis at the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour, where the latter showcased his bridal collection 'Nazakat'.
