Released in 2015, Bajrangi Bhaijaan was a massive hit, becoming the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time. The story follows a Hindu man who escorts a young Pakistani girl back to her home. The film was co-written by SS Rajamouli’s father, KV Vijayendra Prasad, with Kabir Khan.

It's unclear at the moment if Kabir will return to direct the sequel. The director had last worked with Salman on Tubelight (2017). Their first film together, Ek Tha Tiger, was also extended into a franchise.

Salman was recently seen in Antim: The Final Truth. He is presently working on Tiger 3.
