Kabir Khan Confirms Talks with Salman Khan for Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2

As Bajrangi Bhaijaan celebrates its 10th anniversary on July 17, 2025, director Kabir Khan has sent fans into a frenzy by confirming ongoing discussions with superstar Salman Khan for a highly anticipated sequel. The 2015 blockbuster, known for its heartwarming story and powerful message of humanity, remains one of Bollywood’s most beloved films. But will Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 live up to the legacy of the original? Here’s the latest update on the sequel, exclusively for Masala Mirror readers.

A Sequel Worthy of the Original’s Legacy

In recent interviews, Kabir Khan revealed that he and Salman Khan are exploring ideas for Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 but are treading carefully to preserve the emotional and cultural impact of the first film. “We don’t want to make a sequel just to cash in on the name,” Kabir told SCREEN. “Salman and I are in complete agreement that we need a story as exciting as Bajrangi Bhaijaan,” he added, emphasizing that the project will only move forward with a script that matches the original’s depth.

The 2015 film, which grossed over ₹900 crore worldwide on a ₹90 crore budget, told the story of Pawan, a devout Hanuman bhakt (played by Salman Khan), who embarks on a cross-border journey to reunite a mute Pakistani girl, Munni, with her family. Its universal message of love and unity resonated deeply, making it a cultural phenomenon. Fans are eager to know whether the sequel will feature the same characters or take a spiritual approach with a new story but similar tone.

What’s Next for Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2?

While no official timeline has been confirmed, Kabir Khan hinted that the sequel could materialize “now or a year later” if the right story clicks. “We’re not interested in profiting off the name. If the right story comes to us, we’ll absolutely move forward,” he told NEXT TV. Posts on X also reflect the excitement, with fans buzzing about Salman Khan’s potential return as Pawan and the involvement of screenwriter V. Vijayendra Prasad in developing the script.

However, Kabir and Salman are cautious about avoiding a rushed sequel that could tarnish the original’s legacy. “It might feature the same characters moving forward or be a spiritual sequel with the same tone but a different story,” Kabir explained. This careful approach has only heightened anticipation among fans.

Salman Khan’s Packed Schedule

Salman Khan, currently preparing for his upcoming war drama Battle of Galwan with director Apoorva Lakhia, is juggling multiple projects. Despite his busy schedule, the superstar has expressed enthusiasm for reuniting with Kabir Khan. “I would love to work with Salman again, but it has to be the right script,” Kabir shared, fueling hopes of another collaboration.

Challenges and Expectations

The original Bajrangi Bhaijaan faced its share of challenges, including a clash with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over a scene where Om Puri’s character, a Pakistani Maulvi, says “Jai Shri Ram” to Salman’s Pawan. Kabir fought to keep the dialogue, which was met with cheers from audiences, proving the film’s ability to bridge divides. Whether the sequel can replicate this emotional resonance in today’s polarized climate remains a question.

Why Fans Are Excited

• Iconic Legacy: Bajrangi Bhaijaan is celebrated for its emotional storytelling and Salman Khan’s heartfelt performance, making a sequel a massive draw.
• Star Power: Salman Khan’s return as Pawan, paired with Kabir Khan’s directorial vision, promises a cinematic spectacle.
