"Dabangg means fearless. We had earlier spelt it as Dabang but many people were reading it 'Da-Bang'. There may be an astrological reason for all you know, but the actual reason is to cause a resonance and stress on 'g' so that the word is pronounced correctly," Arbaaz said.

Dabangg features Arbaaz's elder brother Salman and debutant Sonakshi Sinha. It has been directed by first-timer Abhinav Kashyap.
