Kick 2 is the sequel of 2014's blockbuster
Kick, which featured Jacqueline Fernandez opposite Salman Khan. Unlike
Kick 2,
Kick released on Eid, which has proved to be extremely successful for Salman Khan's (except a few glitches like
Tubelight). Also, with the announcement of
Kick 2 releasing on Christmas 2019, Salman Khan has booked two major release spots as his film
Bharat is expected to hit the screens on Eid 2019.
Take a look at the
Kick 2 announcement.
As of now, Salman is busy filming
Race 3 with director Remo D'Souza. Salman replaced Saif Ali Khan as the lead of the
Race franchise and he will be joined by his
Kick co-star Jacqueline in the film.
Race 3 also stars Daisy Shah, Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor (the only original member of the
Race team).
After
Race 3,
Salman Khan will focus on Bharat, which is his third collaboration with director Ali Abbas Zafar after
Sultan and
Tiger Zinda Hai, which released a few days before Christmas and was a soaraway success.
Bharat is produced by Salman's brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri.
In between, Salman Khan will also produce his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma's debut film titled
Loverati,
co-starring newcomer Warina Hussain. Salman introduced Warina in a way no one will forget soon.
