The highly anticipated action sequel Kick 2 will officially begin production soon, and Salman Khan has formally announced it. The superstar made the revelation live on Sunday, December 7, 2025, during the Bigg Boss 19 grand finale. Close on the heels of filming his gripping military epic Battle of Galwan came this announcement from him.
Kick 2 confirmation
The confirmation of Kick 2 has generated a lot of excitement among his worldwide fan base and the industry at large. As soon as Khan said, "I'm currently doing Kick 2," while chatting with one of the show's contestants, the comment went viral on social media.
One of Khan's career-defining flicks, the 2014 original Kick became his first to surpass the ₹200 crore milestone and was a tremendous hit at the box office. With an ensemble cast that included Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Randeep Hooda, and Jacqueline Fernandez, the film was produced and directed by Sajid Nadiadwala under his label, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. Following Khan's recent announcement, Nadiadwala has confirmed the sequel's development schedule for late 2024.
Immediate preceding project
After wrapping up his previous engagement, Battle of Galwan, the superstar immediately jumps into Kick 2. This military film directed by Apoorva Lakhia draws inspiration from the upcoming conflict in the Galwan Valley between Indian and Chinese troops in 2020. The film features Chitrangda Singh alongside Khan, who will be seen in the role of a high-ranking army officer. The last day of filming for the film reportedly wrapped up not long ago in Mumbai, marking the beginning of the post-production phase. Many anticipate that the film will be a huge patriotic hit when it comes out in 2026.
Khan is switching gears to reprise his popular character, Devi Lal Singh, commonly known as 'Devil', for Kick 2 after the rigorous shoot for the patriotic film finished. Even though we don't yet know much about the sequel—its plot, director, or returning cast—we can see that development and pre-production have already begun thanks to the verified start of work.
Anticipated back-to-back releases
His fans may look forward to back-to-back big releases from the top-tier star, with the commercial action-thriller Kick 2 following the grittier Battle of Galwan in the release schedule.
