While fans were still rejoicing the news of Salman Khan blocking Eid 2021 for the release of one of his upcoming films Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala has confirmed the release date of their much-awaited film Kick 2.
Nadiadwala, who has produced innumerable successful titles over the years, made his directorial debut with Kick (2014). Also starring Jacqueline Fernandez, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Randeep Hooda in significant roles alongside Salman Khan, the action entertainer was one of the most successful films of 2014.
In 2018, the filmmaker announced a sequel to the film with much fanfare. However, it could not take off on time due to various reasons. But now, Nadiadwala has confirmed that Kick 2 will be entering theatres in December, 2o21.
Talking to a tabloid, Sajid Nadiadwala said, “Salman and I are collaborating after six years and it feels like our Judwaa (1997) days are back. I had started writing Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali even before the Kick sequel. It’s a film with a very different approach and we are sure the audience will love Salman in this avatar we have planned.” He added, “Kick 2 will happen in December 2021. I am in the process to finish writing the script.”
Kick 2 will hit the shooting floor after Salman Khan completes work on Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. Meanwhile, the superstar is busy finishing his next film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. Helmed by Prabhudheva, the action entertainer also stars Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff. The movie is scheduled to release on Eid 2020.
Spilling more beans on Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, a source told the publication, “It’s essentially a family drama with lots of action too. The narration took place early last week and Salman gave his nod in the first meeting itself as the script is tailor made for his image.”
