Fresh from meeting with Prince Mohammad bin Salman, actor Salman Khan has announced to make the sequel of the 2015 movie `Bajrangi Bhaijaan’.
Director by Kabir Khan, Bajrangi Bhaijaan became the biggest hit in 2005 earning Rs 300 crore.
Starring Salman and Kareena Kapoor, the movie based on people-to-people ties of India and Pakistan bagged several awards for its direction and storytelling.
Salman has now confirmed that the Bajrangi Bhaijaan sequel is officially in the works. Salman was speaking during RRR promotional event,
“So can we say this is the official announcement of the film?” host Karan Johar asked.
Salman replied in affirmative. “I have a strong relationship with Rajamouli and his father, as he wrote Bajrangi Bhaijaan and soon we will be working together again for Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2,” Salman said.
Talking to Bollywood Hungama, 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.”
In 2015, when asked if he would make a sequel to the hit film, Kabir said, “No, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ sequel is not happening. I never make sequels of my films. But if the script of a film really excites me, then never say never.”

The filmmaker had then told reporters at the sidelines of the 11th Guild Awards, “Some characters become iconic. Bajrangi is an iconic character, so is Chand Nawab (played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui). So let’s see. But sequels don’t excite me. So I don’t believe in sequels.”
