Salman Khan and Kabir Khan
Superstar Salman Khan may soon reunite with filmmaker Kabir Khan, as the two continue to discuss potential projects, including a long-awaited sequel to their blockbuster hit Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015). The duo, who have previously collaborated on three films (Ek Tha Tiger, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and Tubelight), remain in close contact and are exploring scripts that could mark their next big screen outing together.

Kabir Khan recently confirmed that the conversations are ongoing. “I remain in touch with every actor I have worked with in the past. Salman and I have worked on 3 films, and we keep bouncing ideas. I would love to come back and do another film with Salman, but it has to be a correct story, correct script. We don’t want to reunite for the sake of announcements and proposals in the industry. It has to be a story we both respond to.”
He further added, “We have been discussing a lot of stories regularly of late. If one of them hits the mark, it could be my next announcement for all you know,” he smiled.
Among the most anticipated possibilities is Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, a sequel to the 2015 blockbuster that remains one of the most beloved films in Salman Khan’s career. While the buzz around the sequel has persisted for years, Kabir revealed that the team is treading carefully.

“There is some movement on Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. We have definitely spoken about it. In today’s day and age, when all franchises are doing well, we are being careful because we don’t want to make a sequel to the most popular film of the last two decades for the sake of it. Salman and I are in complete agreement that we need to come across a story that’s as exciting as Bajrangi Bhaijaan,” Kabir said.
Kabir, who has previously expressed his reservations about jumping on the franchise bandwagon, said Bajrangi Bhaijaan might be the exception. “We don’t want to make a film to cash in on the legacy of the first part. We don’t want to spoil the legacy of a beautiful film like Bajrangi Bhaijaan. If and when a story hits us – maybe now, or a year later – we will definitely bring Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2.”
“In my entire career, I have never followed the sequel route, but I know the kind of joy Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 can bring to the audiences,” he said. “I would love to direct it, but for the right reasons and not the wrong ones. I don’t want to do it for the sake of box office numbers, but to do justice to the legacy of a cult like Bajrangi Bhaijaan.”
While Salman Khan’s lineup remains packed with high-octane commercial entertainers like his upcoming and much-awaited war drama, Battle of Galwan which has already set the internet talking and generated an intrigue amongst the audience ever since the first look was out. A reunion with Kabir Khan, especially one involving Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, could mark a shift towards the emotionally resonant storytelling that defined their earlier work together.
