Salman Khan who is currently occupied with the shoot of Race 3 has an amazing line up of movies. The actor will soon begin to shoot for Bharat, Dabangg 3 and Kick 2. In an interaction with a leading Indian daily, Sajid Nadiadwala, the director of Kick’s previous installment, who will also be helming Kick 2, mentioned that he is planning something huge for Kick 2.
Talking about Salman Khan’s response to the sequel, Sajid said, "His reactions always come later. Initially, he gives his nod and hears the script after a month. Then after two months, he will react. Salman becomes a co-writer whenever he comes to the sets. For him, it’s the chemistry between the director, producer and him that works the most. We always planned to make the movie. I’ll need about a year to finish writing it."
Rebuffing rumours about Salman to essay double role in the film, Sajid said, “That’s not true. I can’t reveal much, all I can say is that it’s something different. The scale on which we are mounting Kick 2 is huge. Anybody who works with Salman has a great responsibility of making sure they match up to his fans’ expectations.”
Sajid Nadiadwala further mentioned that he is planning for the third installment of Kick. He said, “I was nervous while directing Kick because it was my first film. If everything falls into place for the second part, then there’s definitely a chance of Kick 3. If we can successfully tell Devil’s story again, then this franchise is here to stay."
Meanwhile, Salman Khan starrer Race 3 also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Saqib Saleem and Daisy Shah. The movie is slated to release this Eid.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
