Salman Khan is all set to play Chulbul Pandey once again, in the sequel to his superhit action film Dabangg.

With younger brother Arbaaz directing the flick this time, the 46-year-old actor will apparently get more involved in the making of Dabangg 2.

While Sonakshi Sinha will continue to be Salman’s lady love in the sequel, villain Sonu Sood will not be seen in the movie.

The film is set to be released by the end of 2012.
