It was Salman Khan who came up with the title 'Munna Badnaam Hua': Arbaaz Khan reveals the story behind the 'Dabangg 3' song

Kapil Sharma's The Kapil Sharma Show recently completed 100 episodes and to mark the occasion, he hosted Salman Khan, who co-produces the show, along with his Dabangg 3 team including Sonakshi Sinha, Prabhudeva, Sai Majrekar, Sudeep Kiccha, and Arbaaz Khan. The cast of the film had a gala time at the event and Salman grooved on his recently released popular song Munna Badnaam Hua.

Post that, Kapil questioned Salman how this song came into being. To which Arbaaz replied by saying, "We were looking for an item song for Dabangg 3 like we had Munni Badnaam Hua in Dabangg 1 and Fevicol in Dabangg 2. We were on a hunt to find a tod for Munni Badnaam to put in Dabangg 3. Salman called me at 1:30 am in the night asking to rush and meet him. He said he got the perfect solution for Munni Badnaam." He further added, "Salman said Munna Badnaam is the perfect song and we should go for this. Initially, I objected to his idea saying we can brainstorm more and come up with some original rather than curating the older one."

Arbaaz also revealed that Salman promised him that they will keep the song only if the outcome turns out well. "The idea was shared with Lalit Ji as he sang Munni Badnaam and as a second option Sajid Wajid was also given a chance. Both the songs turned out very beautifully but Sajid Wajid's song was finally selected for the movie. After Munni Badnaam in Dabangg 1, Fevicol in Dabangg 2, Munna Badnaam seemed perfect in Dabangg 3," Arbaaz signed off by saying. 

Directed by Prabhudeva and produced by Salma Khan, Arbaaz Khan and Nikhil Dwivedi under the banner of Salman Khan Films, Dabanng 3 is slated to release on December 20.
