Kabir Khan opens up on Bajrangi Bhaijaan sequel: “Pawan Putra Bhaijaan is what Salman is calling it”

Days after Salman Khan reported the Bajrangi Bhaijaan sequel, director Kabir Khan has uncovered that the actor did it in excitement while in reality, they are yet to try and lock the script. Salman had said that the Bajrangi Bhaijaan sequel will be named Pawan Putra Bhaijaan.

In an interview with Mid-Day, Kabir said, “Pawan Putra Bhaijaan is what Salman is calling it. It is definitely being written, He mentioned that it is happening because he is excited. I have not read the script, but Vijayendra sir will [always] write something exciting. The idea of [creating] a sequel never excites me. I will never make a sequel to my film only because [the original] was successful. If [I find] a great story, I will be happy to make one.”

The director added on a lighter note, “Salman doesn’t follow [protocols] of formal announcements, he talks from his heart.”

Salman had reported the Bajrangi Bhaijaan spin-off at a promotional event for SS Rajamouli’s RRR in December last year. Nonetheless, when Kabir asked about it, he told India Today, “That announcement is something that Salman did. Neither the script is written, nor has the idea been formed really. There is literally nothing right now we can talk about.”
