Bajrangi Bhaijaan, released in 2015, remains one of the most loved movies starring Salman Khan. The film, which also featured Harshaali Malhotra, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, received glowing reviews from critics and audiences alike. It became a huge hit and is known as the seventh-highest-grossing Indian film of all time and the fourth-highest-grossing Hindi film. The story of Bajrangi, a kind-hearted man who helps a mute Pakistani girl reunite with her family, touched hearts across the globe. Fans have been eagerly waiting for filmmaker Kabir Khan and Salman Khan to team up again after their last collaboration on Tubelight. Kabir, who directed Ek Tha Tiger in 2012 and Bajrangi Bhaijaan in 2015, recently shared why their films together have been so successful. He mentioned that they were fortunate that people connected with the stories and characters they created. Kabir also acknowledged that Salman Khan’s immense popularity played a significant role in the success of their films. There has been a lot of speculation in the entertainment news world about a possible sequel to Bajrangi Bhaijaan, but Kabir has a clear stance on sequels. He firmly believes that not every successful movie needs a sequel. Kabir shared that after every hit film he made, people suggested making a sequel, whether it was New York, Ek Tha Tiger, or Bajrangi Bhaijaan. However, he never followed through because, in his opinion, a sequel should only happen if there is a story that truly deserves to continue the original tale. Kabir explained that he would only consider making a sequel to Bajrangi Bhaijaan if a script came along that was compelling enough to take the story forward. He said that the decision should not be based solely on the success of the first film but on the strength of the new story. So, while fans might be hoping for a sequel, it will only happen if Kabir finds a script that meets his high standards for storytelling.
