After years of speculation and fan anticipation, it seems Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 might finally be inching closer to reality. The heartwarming 2015 blockbuster that won audiences across borders could soon get a sequel, as director Kabir Khan has confirmed that discussions with Salman Khan are underway.
In a recent interview, Kabir Khan revealed that the idea of a sequel to Bajrangi Bhaijaan has been circulating for a while, and it’s something both he and Salman are open to—if the right story comes along. “Yes, I’ve been in talks with Salman about it,” Kabir confirmed. “We’ve discussed ideas, but it’s important for both of us that a sequel lives up to the legacy of the first film. It’s not about cashing in on the success—it has to have a soul.”
The Legacy of Bajrangi Bhaijaan
Released in July 2015, Bajrangi Bhaijaan emerged as one of Bollywood’s most loved films. Directed by Kabir Khan and produced by Salman Khan Films and Rockline Venkatesh, the film followed the emotional journey of Pavan (Salman Khan), a devout Hanuman bhakt who takes it upon himself to reunite a mute Pakistani girl with her family across the border. It won hearts not only for its poignant message of humanity and compassion but also for its nuanced performances, especially from child actor Harshaali Malhotra and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
The film grossed over ₹900 crore worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. It also won the National Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, solidifying its place as a cinematic milestone.
Sequel Speculation Gains Steam
Buzz around a sequel was reignited in late 2021 when Salman Khan himself mentioned a script titled Pavan Putra Bhaijaan was being written by veteran screenwriter K. V. Vijayendra Prasad, who also wrote the original. Fans were excited, but things remained under wraps for years.
Now, Kabir Khan’s confirmation of active discussions brings new hope.
“There’s definitely a possibility,” he said. “Salman is very emotionally attached to this character. But we won’t do it unless we’re sure that the story is just as emotionally powerful, maybe even more.”
What Could the Sequel Be About?
While plot details are tightly guarded, sources close to the project have suggested that the sequel could focus on the grown-up Munni or delve deeper into Pavan’s life and his continued efforts to bridge India-Pakistan ties through acts of kindness. There’s also speculation about an entirely new child in need of help, allowing the film to explore fresh emotional territory.

Fans are also wondering whether Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s character, Chand Nawab, will return, and if so, in what capacity.
A Reunion to Watch For
Kabir Khan and Salman Khan have had a successful collaboration history with Ek Tha Tiger and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, making their potential reunion for Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 all the more anticipated. The director, however, insists they won’t rush it. “It has to be honest. That’s the only way a sequel to Bajrangi Bhaijaan can work.”
For now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement. But with both Kabir and Salman in serious talks and a potential script in the pipeline, it appears Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 is no longer just wishful thinking.
Stay tuned—for the return of the most beloved Bajrangi in Bollywood might just be closer than we think.
