Famous producer Sajid Nadiadwala made his directing debut in 2014 with the Salman Khan-starring Kick. With lifetime receipts of more than Rs 200 crore in India, the movie went on to become a smash hit and currently holds the record for being the highest-grossing debut picture. There has been much talk over the past nine years about a Kick 2; Sajid Nadiadwala has also indicated that he will once again serve as director for Salman in Kick 2.
Kick 2’s script has been heard by Salman, according to Sajid Nadiadwala
Sajid Nadiadwala admitted that Kick is his favourite IP and assured that Kick 2 would be released shortly. “Kick is my favourite intellectual property, and I got my start as a director with it. As soon as I mention Kick, I receive letters from the industry, and even the digital world is inundated with inquiries regarding the release date of Kick 2. I’ll now guarantee that Kick will be extended. The topic is there and has been fully written, but it requires time. It has to be released on a larger scale and at a better time. It has to be released on a larger scale and at a better time. For us to make Kick, moviegoing must once again be fashionable. I shall be prepared to take Kick 2 on floors whenever things are back to normal, Sajid assures.
The producer believes that he is being cautious with the sequel because the audience has high expectations for the action movie. “At first, it was in my head, but now it’s written down. Salman has also heard it, so I just need the audience’s energy to return so that we can organise Kick 2 appropriately,” he acknowledges. Sajid elaborates on his ideas regarding moviegoers’ viewing habits in the post-Covid era by saying, “We are currently in the post-Covid blind curve, and we need to respect the time that the audience needs. They require a compelling cause to visit the theatre, and we must create a compelling movie to keep them coming back.
Sajid Naidadwala declares, “We can’t be complacent.”
We must offer a fantastic cinematic experience; we cannot afford to be complacent, he continues. We must put a lot of effort into providing value for both their time and their money. They’ll be looking for the best content, not just the ‘good’ or ‘okay’ stuff. In the meantime, Sajid Nadiadwala is getting ready for the July 21 release of Bawaal on Amazon Prime. Chandu Champion and Housefull 5 have also been announced for 2024 by him.
