Filmmaker Vijayendra Prasad Gives Major Update on Salman Khan-Fronted 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2'

Mumbai, July 17 - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan announced the sequel to his cult classic blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan last year though the details were not disclosed then. Vijayendra Prasad, who wrote the first part, has been working on the sequel as well, and now, he has provided a major update on this highly-anticipated sequel. ## During a recent interview with Pinkvilla, the filmmaker said that he has locked the basic idea of the sequel and it will be the continuation of the first part. The sequel, which is titled Pawan Putra Bhaijaan, will take place 10 years after the first part and it might start rolling out next year. ## "I have narrated the story outline to Bhai and he has loved it. Now the ball is in his court to decide on timelines. The story takes an 8 to 10-year leap in Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. I am hopeful that the sequel will be no lesser than the first part", he said. ## Vijayendra Prasad also revealed that he got the basic idea about the "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" movie from Megastar Chiranjeevi's "Pasivadi Pranam". One of Vijayendra Prasad's associates suggested he should make a movie in which our hero goes to Pakistan and bashes them. He said he improvised the script as the intention was to make a film that doesn't increase the animosity between the two countries but decreases it.## Salman Khan is currently shooting for Farhad Samji-directed "Bhaijaan". After wrapping up this action comedy, Salman will move on to another much-anticipated sequel of "No Entry" from January 2023. He also has "Tiger 3" scheduled to release on Eid 2023 and "Dabangg 4" in the pipeline. ## Stay tuned...
