Salman Khan and director Kabir Khan are reportedly in talks for a possible reunion, with discussions underway around several projects—including a potential sequel to their 2015 hit Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The two, who previously teamed up for Ek Tha Tiger, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and Tubelight, are said to be exploring scripts for their next collaboration.
Kabir Khan on working with Salman Khan again in Bajrangi Bhaijaan sequel; says, “I would love to come back and do another film with Salman”
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, 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 on a regular basis off late. If one of them hits the mark, it could be my next announcement for all you know,” he smiled.
One of the most talked-about possibilities is Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, a sequel to the 2015 blockbuster that continues to be a highlight in Salman Khan’s filmography. While interest in the sequel has remained strong over the years, Kabir Khan has indicated that the team is approaching the project with caution.
“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.”
Salman Khan’s current lineup includes high-octane commercial entertainers, such as the upcoming war drama Battle of Galwan, which has already sparked online buzz following the release of its first look. A potential reunion with Kabir Khan—particularly for Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2—could offer a contrast, revisiting the emotionally driven storytelling that defined their earlier collaborations.
