Salman Khan to return as "Devil" in Kick 2 | Jacqueline Fernandez | Sajid Nadiadwala

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has locked Christmas 2019 for the sequel to the Sajid Nadiadwala 2014 directorial Kick.

Salman Khan fans have every reason to cheer as the superstar will soon be back as the 'Devil' in Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Kick 2'. Wednesday was off to an exciting start when the makers released an announcement stating that Salman will be back for the sequel that will release on Christmas 2019.

This confirmation comes almost four years after the first instalment of the 'Kick' franchise, co-starring Jacqueline Fernandez, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Randeep Hooda created waves at the box-office in 2014. While it is still not clear if the original star cast will return for the sequel, reports claim that an international action star might feature in the film.

Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick was the first ever film to enter the 200-crore club creating a record for other films to follow. The action thriller showcased Salman Khan as the delivish Superhero for the first time.

It had been reported that Nadiadwala has been working on the script of the sequel for quite some time now and had sounded Salman about it, which the actor reportedly "loves".

It is not known if Jacqueline Fernandez will return in Kick 2, as the announcement mentions the names of just Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala.

While some reports are doing the rounds that the makers are keen to recreate the magic of the original jodi, others suggest that the film will feature a different leading lady. Names like Deepika Padukone, Kriti Sanon and Amy Jackson are being tossed around.

Meanwhile, Salman and Jacqueline will be paired opposite each other in Remo D'Souza's Race 3. The two recently wrapped up the Mumbai schedule of the film, which will hit the theatres this Eid.

Work on the film is expected to begin shortly.

Meanwhile, Salman has his hands full with a great lineup of films that include, 'Race 3', 'Dabangg 3' and 'Bharat'.
