The Kabir Khan directed, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, fronted by Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor, with Harshali Malhotra and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in key roles, has attained a cult status over the last six years. We recently interacted with writer, KV Vijayendra Prasad, who revealed that he is trying to crack a story for a sequel to Bajrangi Bhaijaan and he has discussed the same with Salman.

“I am trying to crack Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. Sometime back, I told Salman the idea and he is also excited. But I am looking for a proper vehicle to carry it forward. I hope it materialises,” Vijayendra Prasad said. We were taken aback by the sudden update from the celebrated writer and hence, tried to verify it again with him. When asked if he has discussed the idea, he smiled, “When I met him casually, I told him about Bajrangi Bhaijaan sequel. He is excited with the thought and said it’s a good idea.”

What sets the response aside from the general comments made by writers and directors about sequels and franchise is the fact that the writer voluntarily gave an update on Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. The author casually asked Vijayendra Prasad, if he is planning to write something for Salman again, and that’s when he made this revelation.
