Director Kabir Khan has confirmed that he is in regular discussions with Salman Khan about a possible sequel to Bajrangi Bhaijaan. However, both are in agreement that Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 will only move forward if they find a story that lives up to the emotional and cultural depth of the original. They are avoiding rushing into a sequel just for commercial reasons, stressing that the film's legacy must be preserved. While no script has been finalized, the idea remains open, and a sequel may happen in the future if the right narrative comes along.
Kabir Khan and Salman Khan A decade after the release of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, one of Bollywood's most beloved films, director Kabir Khan has confirmed that discussions are actively taking place regarding a potential sequel. While excitement among fans continues to grow, both Kabir and Salman Khan remain cautious, prioritising a powerful script over commercial motivations.
Kabir Khan revealed in an interview with Pinkvilla that he and Salman have been engaging in frequent conversations about various story ideas, including a follow-up to Bajrangi Bhaijaan. However, he clarified that the decision to move forward with Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 would not be influenced by public demand or box office prospects. Their shared view is that the sequel must offer something equally meaningful and emotionally resonant as the original, which struck a chord with audiences worldwide.
Addressing the growing speculation around the sequel, Kabir stated that he has never leaned into the trend of making sequels and does not intend to approach Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 as just another franchise opportunity. He admitted that while there is immense potential for joy in returning to that world, it has to be done for the right reasons. The goal, according to him, is not to chase numbers but to honour the heart and soul of the original film.Kabir also acknowledged the risk of tarnishing the legacy of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which is often hailed as one of the most emotionally impactful films of recent times. For that reason, he and Salman are committed to waiting until they discover a story that holds the same depth and power.While no script has been locked yet, Kabir hinted at possibilities such as a new journey for Salman Khan's character Pawan or even an evolution in the story of Chand Nawab, originally played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Themes like cross-border friendship, human connection, and faith—core to the original—are expected to remain central if a sequel is made. Some fans have speculated about revisiting Munni, the mute girl from Pakistan, possibly as a teenager.Kabir Khan and Salman Khan have previously collaborated on Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), and Tubelight (2017). Although their past work has seen varying degrees of success, Kabir has consistently acknowledged Salman's significant influence on his career. Despite Tubelight receiving mixed reviews, their partnership remains strong.Most recently, Kabir directed Chandu Champion, featuring Kartik Aaryan, which performed moderately well at the box office. Currently, he is exploring multiple concepts, any of which could become his next directorial venture.As Bajrangi Bhaijaan approaches its 10th anniversary on July 17, fans are hopeful for a sequel. But Kabir Khan remains firm that the film will only be made if the right story comes along—even if that takes a year or more.

Earlier, she was also mistaken for Katrina Kaif's body double. Which is Salman Khan's biggest flop? We are talking about Zareen Khan, and the name of the film is Veer. This film was released in 2010 and was one of the biggest flops. Zareen debuted in Yuvraj, which starred Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, and Zayed Khan.
