Jacqueline Fernandez on Kick 2 taking time in rolling

Starring Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez in lead roles, Kick was one of the most successful films of the year 2014. After much speculations, filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala officially announced a sequel to the much-loved movie in 2017. Kick 2 was set to hit screens in 2019, but the year is about to end and the project has not even started rolling.

The sequel has been in the works for quite some time now. Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez have been retained to headline it. Recently, Fernandez revealed the reason behind the film taking a lot of time in mounting the shooting floor. “That is because the director really wanted it to be perfect. It is an amazing script. I am happy to be part of the sequel of a film that catapulted my career. It is good to be working again with the team,” said the actress.


Sajid Nadiadwala, who made his directorial debut with Kick, will be returning to helm the sequel. He is currently busy fine-tuning the script of the much-awaited film. If all goes well, Kick 2 will begin production in 2020.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline Fernandez is looking forward to making her digital debut with the upcoming Netflix film Mrs. Serial Killer. Shirish Kunder is helming the film, while Farah Khan is associated with it in the capacity of a producer. Besides Jacqueline, Mrs. Serial Killer also stars Manoj Bajpayee and Mohit Raina in principal roles.

Talking about her digital debut, the actress had earlier said “The digital space is very new to me. I have never ever done a film without songs. All the dance practice and choreography has been a part of every single film I have done. It has always been one of the things I have prepped up for. A film without all that is completely new territory for me.”
