Choreographer-turned-director Prabhudeva, who will be next seen in Telugu film Mercury, says Salman Khan is a lot like Rajinikanth.

Prabhu, who has worked with Salman back in 2009 in Wanted that  what was termed as Salman’s comeback film, believes that the actor has a huge loyal fan base just like Thalaivaa Rajinikanth, who is hailed as the most popular actor in Tollywood.

Prabhu, who has been travelling with Salman for ‘Da-Bangg’ tour, told Mid-Day that what makes these two superstars alike and why people idolise them.

“He is hard-working and comforting. One will want to have a conversation with him about anything. He’s a lot like Rajinikanth sir. They both have an innate style, one that is unique and appealing. He never makes an effort to impress anyone, but we’re mesmerised nonetheless.”

Prabhu will also reunite with Salman after more than nine years with Dabangg 3, which is one of the most popular films of the latter and assures fans that it will be a complete Salman Khan film.

“I know it is a big film, and there is a challenge before me, but I am not one to succumb under pressure. I feel the pressure only when the film has hit screens, while noticing how viewers react to it.” He further added, “We should take the project on floors soon. It’s going to be an out-and-out Salman Khan film. There will be a lot of action,” Prabhu told Mumbai daily about his forthcoming directorial Dabangg 3.”

Dabangg 3 will be backed by Arbaaz Khan and will feature the Dabangg jodi of Salman and Sonakshi Sinha.

Dabangg 3 is scheduled for release sometime around Christmas 2018.
