Salman Khan in a still from "Kick"

Salman Khan has never done a sequel to his films, except for Dabangg, but that might change soon.

According to sources, a sequel to Kick, the actor’s last release and the highest grosser of his career, is being planned. The film was directed by Sajid Nadiadwala. Kick has so far accrued a total box-office collection of Rs2.34 billion (Dh139 million). That beats Ek Tha Tiger which netted Rs1.88 billion worldwide.

“Sajid is now being told by his distributors and friends to carry the story forward into a sequel because it makes a lot of business sense,” a source said.

Nadiadwala, however, is in two minds as he has his hands full as a producer.

“It’s been a tremendous year for me. God has been kind. Kick became far bigger than we imagined. And it’s all because of Salman’s star power. I don’t know whether I can direct again for a while. My hands are full with productions. I don’t deny there is a growing demand to direct again. All I can say is, wait and watch.”

Released in July this year, Kick also featured Randeep Hooda, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Jacqueline Fernandez.
