Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap has just arrived. The director, who hit the bull's eye with his very first film, is hoping that his film bags a few awards at the most awaited Filmfare Awards night.

Ask him about Dabangg 2 and pat come the reply, "Most definitely, I will be directing the Dabangg sequel."
