In a recent interview to Times of India, Malaika rules out any reports and clarified that she has moved on from the project. "I am not involved with the film. Everyone involved with the project has moved on and I only wish each and everyone all the best for the venture,” the dancer says.

Reports had earlier claimed that Salman was attempting a gender reversal of sorts for Dabangg 3, by recreating Malaika's peppy number as 'Munna Badnaam Hua.' However, Malaika's clarification puts all rumours to rest. She further adds that she plans to produce a few films independently as some ideas are coming her way.
