MUMBAI: In the upcoming film Radhe, Salman Khan will be seen portraying the role of a very serious cop. 

Revealing more details about his character, director Prabhudheva told a leading entertainment portal that his character in Radhe is different from Dabanng’s Chulbul Pandey. 

He told SpotboyE, “It had to be a different cop from the one that Salman Sir plays in Dabangg. Otherwise, Radhe would look like just an extension of Dabangg. We’ve made sure this cop is different, more serious.” 

The portal further asked if Radhe is a tribute to Amitabh Bachchan’s cop act in Zanjeer. To this, Prabhudheva answered, “Not in any direct way. But yes both Inspector Vijay and Inspector Radhe are no-nonsense. They take their duty very seriously and they don’t spare criminals.”

The portal further stated that like Big B’s grim joyless serious cop Vijay in Zanjeer, Salman’s khaki dressed Radhe in Radhe: India’s Most Wanted won’t sing songs on screen. At least that’s the plan for now. Apparently, the whole idea of doing a two cop franchise with Salman is to keep them as separate from one another as possible. Hence while Chulbul Pandey in Dabangg will do all things chulbul (naughty) Radhe is in a more serious space.
