Hope Rekindled: Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 On The Horizon?

Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the 2015 blockbuster starring Salman Khan, holds a special place in the hearts of Bollywood fans. Directed by Kabir Khan, the emotional tale of a man’s journey to reunite a mute Pakistani girl with her family across the border became a massive box office success and earned critical acclaim. Naturally, fans have long waited for a sequel, and now, there’s renewed hope that Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 may actually happen.

In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, director Kabir Khan revealed that he and Salman Khan are indeed in discussions about reuniting for the sequel. While confirming that talks are ongoing, Kabir stressed that they’re being cautious and waiting for the right story. “We have definitely spoken about Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. In today’s day and age, when all franchises are doing well, we are being careful about Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, as we don’t want to make a sequel to the most popular film of the last two decades for the sake of it,” he explained.

Kabir also shared that both he and Salman are aligned on not rushing into a sequel just to capitalise on the legacy of the original. “We don’t want to spoil the legacy of a beautiful film like Bajrangi Bhaijaan. If and when a story hits us – maybe now, or a year later – we will definitely bring Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2,” he added.The filmmaker further clarified that while he has never been inclined to follow the sequel route in his career, this particular story holds a special place. “I would love to direct Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 but for the right reasons and not the wrong ones. I don’t want to do it for the sake of box office numbers, but to do justice to the legacy of a cult like Bajrangi Bhaijaan,” he concluded.

Kabir Khan’s last outing, Chandu Champion starring Kartik Aaryan, performed moderately at the box office. He is now reportedly working on his next film, while fans eagerly wait for confirmation on whether Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 will become a reality.
