Malaika Arora Khan says the day she and her husband Arbaaz Khan decided to become movie producers, was the most important turning point in her life.
"Professionally, there have been many instances which have actually made me the person I am today. But by far, the most special was the day when Arbaaz and I decided to become producers and make a film which is 'Dabangg' and now we are making the sequel. So, professionally, it's the most important turning point in my life," Malaika said at an event to support the Clean Shaven Look for Men campaign.
While 'Dabangg' was directed by Abhinav Kashyap, Arbaaz has himself taken the reins of 'Dabangg 2' in his own hands.
Talking about Arbaaz as a director, Malaika, who had danced to "Munni badnaam" in the first instalment, said: "I am really excited and nervous. It's been superb not just producing this time, but having him direct the film. I have been pretty hands-on, so yes, it's really nerve-wrecking right now".
"Dabangg 2" stars Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha. While Kareena is doing a special song in the film, Malaika will also be seen in a special appearance, which she is keeping under the wraps. However, if reports are to be believed, Malaika has already shot for a peppy number.
"Dabanng 2" is set for release Dec 21.
"I am a part of the film, but in what capacity, you will only know that once you see the film. So when you watch the film, then you will see me," the 39-year-old said here Sunday at the Blender's Pride Fashion Show.
Malaika has reportedly, recently shot for a song titled "Pandeyji seete mare" with her brother-in-law Salman Khan.
But, she has also made it clear that she is happy that Kareena Kapoor is doing a special song in "Dabangg 2."
"Kareena is definitely a part of our film and I am really glad that she is there and will be doing a special song in our film," she said.
"Dabangg 2", being directed by Malaika's husband, Arbaaz Khan, will have Salman reprising his role as Inspector Chulbul Pandey, and Sonakshi Sinha will be seen as his wife.
The film hits theatres Dec 21 this year.
