Superstar Salman Khan and celebrated filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala have officially announced the much-anticipated sequel to their 2014 blockbuster, Kick. The duo, known for delivering high-octane entertainers, took to Instagram to confirm the sequel, currently titled Kick 2.
In an exciting reveal, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment (NGE) shared a photo of Salman Khan from the sets of their upcoming film, Sikandar, with the caption: “It was a great Kick 2 photo shoot Sikandar….!!! From Grand Sajid Nadiadwala @beingsalmankhan @wardakhannadiadwala #Kick2 #Sikandar.”
Kick Success: A Look Back
Directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, Kick made waves at the box office upon its release in 2014. The action-packed comedy marked Nadiadwala’s directorial debut and quickly became a massive hit, solidifying Salman Khan’s status as Bollywood’s box office king. The film, which also starred Jacqueline Fernandez, Randeep Hooda, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, was an official remake of Telugu star Ravi Teja’s 2009 film of the same name.
With its gripping storyline, larger-than-life action sequences, and unforgettable dialogues, Kick not only entertained audiences but also broke box office records, becoming Khan’s first film to enter the prestigious Rs 200 crore club.
