Major Details About Salman Khan’s Kick 2 Including Release Date Revealed, Jacqueline, Pooja And Kriti In The Running For Lead

Salman Khan is on full throttle and is coming up with one big release after another. While his Dabangg 3 is all set to raise the temperature at the theatres, he will also be coming up with Radhey: The Most Wanted Bhai soon after on Eid 2020 and now it turns out that he has also planned his Eid 2021.

If Bollywood Hungama reports are to be believed then Salman’s 2021 Eid release is going to be Kick 2. A source close to the development said, “Kick released in 2014 and was a huge success in all respects. Five years have passed but the character of Devil, played by Salman Khan, and its dialogues are memorable even today. Salman had a blast doing the film and hence the sequel was always on the cards. The script has been locked and the final touches and dialogue-writing is in process. Sajid Nadiadwala, the producer and also director of Kick 2, needs time for all stages – pre-production, shoot, and post-production. Hence, it has been decided to release the film only in 2021.”

The source further added, “As we all know, Ramzan Eid is now synonymous with Salman Khan releases. So what better than this holy festival to bring Kick 2? Even part 1 had released on Eid in 2014. Hence, Kick 2 will hit theatres in May 2021. Since Eid falls on Thursday, May 13 in 2021, Kick 2 might also arrive the same day and thus have the advantage of a four-day weekend.”

Talking about the female lead in the film, Jacqueline Fernandez, who was a part of the first film as well might also be a part of the sequel. ““Pooja Hegde has a three-film deal with Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. She was recently seen in their big Diwali release Housefull 4 and now she might also bag a part in Kick 2. She is one of the contenders for the lead role along with Jacqueline. Whether Jacqueline gets the coveted part of Pooja, we’ll come to know in the days to come. Sajid Nadiadwala will put forward the names of Jacqueline Fernandez, Pooja Hegde and also Kriti Sanon to Salman Khan. Even Kriti has a similar deal with Sajid Nadiadwala and she’s close to them as she was launched in their film. So once Sajid and Salman arrive at a consensus, the lead actress will be locked.”
