Sajid Nadiadwala Breaks His Silence On The Sequel To Salman Khan-Fronted 'Kick'

Mumbai, July 13 - The sequel to filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala's directorial debut "Kick" fronted by Salman Khan has been in development for a long time. It was officially announced in 2020, but due to the covid-19 pandemic, the production got delayed.

Sajid Nadiadwala, who is basking on the success of "Satyaprem Ki Katha" starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani, finally breaks his silence and opens up on the much-awaited action-comedy sequel and confirmed that he will be returning to direct it. The filmmaker said that the script is ready but they are waiting for the right time to take "Kick 2" on floors, hence the production is getting delayed.



"The subject is there on paper, it's completely written but needs time. We need a bigger scale and a better time for its release. We need to have cinema consumption back in fashion for us to make Kick. Once we are back to normal, I will be ready to take Kick 2 on floors", the filmmaker said in an interview with Pinkvilla.

Nadiadwala also said that Salman Khan has heard the script and now, all they need is the right time and the excitement of the audience to come back for the movie so they can plan things accordingly. "We can't be complacent and we have to provide a great cinematic experience (to the audience). We need to work very hard to give value for not just their money but also their time", he added.

Meanwhile, Nadiadwala is currently gearing up for the release of "Bawaal" starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor. The movie will have a direct-to-digital release via Amazon Prime Video on July 21. Apart from this, Sajid's second collaboration with Kartik Aaryan and director Kabir Singh, "Chandu Champion" recently went on floors and it will have a theatrical release in June next year.
