Salman Khan has delivered a mixed bag of films in the past few years. Released in 2015, Bajrangi Bhaijaan turned out to be one of the highest-grossing films in Bollywood history. It earned over 300 crores in India. Globally, it was the second highest-grossing film of Bollywood after Aamir Khan’s Dangal. A few months back, the film was in the news due to its sequel.
Now, Salman Khan himself has just confirmed a new blockbuster in the making. The superstar graced the pre-release event of RRR yesterday in Mumbai. Along with Salman, Karan Johar, Jr NTR, SS Rajamouli, Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, and Shriya Saran were present at the event. Out of the blue, Salman made an official announcement of Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 will also be written by Rajamouli’s father Prasad
Salman Khan even confirmed that SS Rajamouli’s father and renowned writer, KV Vijayendra Prasad will be writing Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. The writer had earlier penned the original film Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
During the event, Salman Khan spoke about how Bajrangi Bhaijaan is one of the best films of his career. The actor also thanked SS Rajamouli‘s father for the same. Karan Johar, who was hosting the event, asked the actor, “So can we say, this is the official announcement of the film?” To which, Salman responded, “Yes, Karan”.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan was helmed by Kabir Khan. The story revolved around a Hanuman devotee who meets a girl who hails from Pakistan and accidentally enters India. Pawan (Salman Khan) decides to reunite Munni (Harshaali Malhotra) with his family and that’s how the entire story unfolds. The film also starred Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
Meanwhile, Kabir Khan said, “For me, principally I am a storyteller. I feel that when I have made that film I am done with that story. I am done with that character. I am not living with that character anymore. I always do think about what would have happened to these characters after the film. I have a story in my mind but it has not excited me enough to go back and do a story with those characters.”
