There has lately been much talk about Salman Khan’s actioner Kick getting postponed. But now it looks like the film will roll on time.
The movie will feature Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles. There was a strong buzz that Salman Khan doesn’t want to overdo his pairing with Sonakshi Sinha, because he’s already slated to do Dabangg 2 with her. Moreover, Khan’s date diary has been chockfull, with projects like Ek Tha Tiger, Dabangg 2 and Sher Khan, leaving no time for Kick which is to be directed by Shirish Kunder.
Now, a source tells us that Kunder is pulling out all the stops to make sure that Kick rolls on time in the latter half of 2012. He is apparently very gung-ho about directing Salman Khan again. He first directed the star in his debut film Jaaneman.
Kunder has himself confirmed that Kick hasn’t been postponed.
“All rumours about ‘Kick’ being postponed etc is bullshit. ‘Kick’ is definitely happening in the 2nd half of 2012. Release date will be announced by producer Sajid Nadiadwala,” Kunder recently clarified.
Kick is a remake of the 2009 Telugu film of the same name. The movie starred Ravi Teja and Ileana. The Bollywood version will have Salman Khan reprising the role of a character who gets a ‘kick’ out of doing things differently and dangerously.
