While Jacqueline Fernandezwas seen in the original directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, the sequel is slated to have Amy Jackson in the lead role. A website claimed that Amy, who is popular in the South industry and has now apparently bagged a role with Salman Khan in the film. While the 2014 film was a hit at the box office, it will be interesting to see how the sequel fares. Speculations were rife that Jacqueline would be reprising her role in the sequel, but the reports suggest that Amy Jackson will replace Jacky. The site stated, “Amy fit the bill perfectly and has made it to the final list of the film’s cast.”
Produced and directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, Kick was an official remake of the 2009 Telugu movie Kick. Apart from Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez, the original also featured Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in significant roles. Nawazuddin played the main villain in the film. ‘Kick 2’ is slated to release on Christmas 2019.
Amy Jackson will be seen in Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar’s ‘2.0’, which is slated to release later this year. Meanwhile, Salman Khan is busy shooting for ‘Race 3’ and has begun prepping for ‘Bharat’. The ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ actor is most likely to undergo extensive prosthetic make-up to look a certain way.
