‘Go Goa Gone 2’: If you laughed your socks off with the first zombie comedy, then you will definitely look forward to Saif Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu returning for the sequel, which we hear could be out in March 2021, that is if the pandemic hasn’t delayed production too much. Image Credit: Supplied

‘Kick 2’: Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez, who had starred in the 2014 action heist film ‘Kick’, will be reuniting for ‘Kick 2’. The new film will bring back Khan as Devil (Devi Lal Singh), a thief with a purpose. The film was expected in December 2021, but with Khan already set with three releases in 2021 — ‘Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhat’, ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’ and ‘Antim: The Final Truth’, we could expect this film to head into 2022.
