Speculation surrounding the highly anticipated sequel to the 2014 blockbuster Kick has reached a fever pitch, but recent reports of a major casting overhaul appear to be premature. Despite viral rumors suggesting that Kriti Sanon is set to replace Jacqueline Fernandez as the female lead, sources close to the production have dismissed these claims as baseless, clarifying that no official casting decisions have been made.

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is reportedly still in the process of finalizing the script. Following the underwhelming box office performance of Sikandar—another collaboration between Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Salman Khan released earlier this year—the team is taking a more cautious approach. 

Industry insiders suggest that Salman Khan is being exceptionally particular about the screenplay for Kick 2, ensuring that the return of his iconic character, Devi Lal Singh (Devil), lives up to the massive expectations of the franchise.

The production house is prioritizing "content over haste," with the writing team focused on crafting a fresh narrative rather than simply cashing in on the brand name. While fans are eager for an official announcement—potentially timed for the superstar’s 60th birthday this December—the makers have urged the public to wait for formal confirmation. For now, the hunt for the perfect "Devil" companion remains open as the script undergoes rigorous refinement.
