Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 Release Date: Confirms V. Vijayendra Prasad

Look, Salman Khan is a name about which different people have different opinions. Some people are his die-hard fans, while some people raise questions about his acting.

But the thing where everyone agrees is that Bajrangi Bhaijaan was one of the best films of Salman Khan's career, where he also gave his finest performance.

So I have good news and bad news about Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, but I would like to start with the good news.

Now official confirmation has come that a sequel to Bajrangi Bhaijaan is being made. That's right. Rumors have been flying in the market for a long time that a sequel to Bajrangi Bhaijaan could be made, but till now no official confirmation has come from the makers. 

Is there Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2?

Recently a press conference for a film was held, and there was V. Vijayendra Prasad, who is the father of S. S. Rajamouli, who wrote famous movies like Bahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, talking about Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2.

V. Vijayendra Prasad himself admitted that the script of Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 is completely locked, and now the next step is that he will narrate this script to Salman Khan, and once Salman Khan says yes, they'll start making the movie.

As soon as this news is out, there is a stir on social media for two reasons:

The first reason is that Bajrangi Bhaijaan was one of the highest-grossing films of Salman Khan's career. In 2015, that film did a business of Rs 320 crore from India alone, and none of Salman Khan's films released in the last four to five years has done such business.

Second and foremost, Salman Khan's track record recently was quite bad. Race 3, Dabaang 3, Radhe, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan—all these films were trolled a lot on social media. Some people were not happy with the films, while others were also complaining about the fact that Salman Khan was working with very below-average directors, and in such a situation, he should take his career seriously and move forward in films like Bajrangi Bhaijaan or Sultan.

So the great news is confirmed: Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 is happening, without a doubt!, but there is still confusion on one thing: who will direct this film?

Who will direct Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2?

Here, let me tell you that Bajrangi Bhaijaan 1 was directed by Kabir Khan, but his track record in the latest ones was not very good. Tubelight or 83 Last, both of his films, flopped at the box office, and because of this, there is speculation that perhaps Kabir Khan will not direct Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2.

On one hand, the big rumor that has come out is that perhaps S. Rajamouli can direct this film, the reason being that right now he is busy making a film with Mahesh Babu, which will be completed by next year, and then he will be free.

Apart from that, Salman Khan is also shooting for the film Sikander, which will be finished by next year, so he will also be free at that time.

So, if these two big names come together, then definitely Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 will be the biggest film made by India to date because S Rajamouli is famous for the fact that he increases the popularity of any actor so much through his filmmaking that he directly becomes a pan-India star.

Now Salman Khan is already such a big superstar, so if this dream collaboration happens, then Bajraangi Bhaijaan 2 can be such a film from India that will make business of 1.5 or 2000 crores at the domestic box office.

Now let's move on to the bad news.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 Release Date

As I told you, Salman Khan is busy with a movie called Sikander, scheduled for Eid 2025. After that, he'll start working on Inshallah, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, set to come out in 2026. And then his most-awaited film, Tiger vs. Pathan, will come, in which he will be seen in a full-fledged role with Shahrukh Khan, and it is being told that it is going to be the biggest film of the YRF spy universe till now, expected to be released in 2027.

As of now, looking at Salman Khan's lineup, it seems that we may get to see Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 in 2027 or 2028, which means we will have to wait for four to five years for that film.

But I still focus on the good more than the bad because the fact that Vijender Prasad is the writer of BB2 confirms one thing: whenever BB2, aka Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, is released, it will become a cult classic.
