When asked whether scripting for Kick 2 has begun, he replied by saying "Kick 2 bol toh rahe hai aa rahi hai but pata nahi kab ayegi. Sajid bhai ki zayada involve rehte hai. Unhone bol tha bnayenge par aisa koi intimation mereko nahi aya hai. Mai uska hissa hu ya vo bann rahi hai ya nahi bann rahi. Unhone kaha tha vo soch rahe hai, bas itna hi pata hai (They keep talking about Kick 2, but no one knows when it’s actually coming. Sajid bhai is usually very involved. He had said he would make it, but I haven’t received any intimation about it. Whether I’m a part of it, or whether it’s being made or not, I have no clue. He just said he’s thinking about it, that’s all I know.)"
Directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, Kick was released in 2014 and commercial success upon its debut in the theatres.

In a recent interview, he said, "If any character demands a sequel, it is Devi Lal from Kick. There has been a huge demand for the sequel, and we could have done it much earlier if we wanted to cash in on Kick’s popularity and Salman’s stardom. But we didn’t want to make the film just for the sake of it; we wanted it to have a new story and be perfect. That’s why it has taken us some time. The scripting is in progress and will be completed soon.”
Meanwhile, Randeep Hooda starrer Jaat, which was released in cinemas on April 10, has maintained a solid momentum despite box office clash with south movies such as Ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly and Bazooka. The film has earned a net collection of Rs 26.57 crore.
