In 2015, director Kabir Khan and actor Salman Khan had teamed up for Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The film was a blockbuster at the box office and even received positive reviews from critics. It had won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. There have been reports of a sequel to the film being planned, and recently, Salman finally confirmed that Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 is happening. At a promotional event of RRR, Salman stated that he worked with SS Rajamouli’s father, KV Vijayendra Prasad, in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and they will team up soon for Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2.
According to PTI, Salman said, “I have a strong relationship with Rajamouli and his father, as he wrote Bajrangi Bhaijaan and soon we will be working together again for Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2.”
Director Kabir Khan has earlier mentioned that he is not much keen on sequels. He had directed Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai was helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar. BollywoodLife recently interacted with Kabir Khan and the filmmaker EXCLUSIVELY told us whether he will be directing Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 or not.
