SS Rajamouli Had Expressed His Wish To Direct Salman Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', Reveals KV Vijayendra Prasad

Mumbai, July 17 - One of the biggest box office blockbusters and critically hailed, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, starring superstar Salman Khan, has completed 7 years since its release in 2015. The Kabir Khan-directed comedy-drama film made over 960 crores at the worldwide box office and is one of the highest-grossing Indian movies of all time. ## The story of the film was written by KV Vijayendra Prasad, who revealed in a recent interview that he pitched the film to his son SS Rajamouli before he committed it to Salman Khan. Vijayendra Prasad revealed that Rajamouli loved the story and even wished to direct it but things didn't materialize as he was directing Prabhas-fronted "Baahubali" at that time. ## "Before I was about to commit the story to Salman Bhai, I narrated it to my son and tears started rolling from his eyes. I asked if I should keep the story for him, but he asked me to give it away. Once the film was released, he came to me and said 'Papa, you asked me at the wrong time. I was shooting the climax of Bahubali 1 and it was a jittery situation then. Had you asked me 10 days before or later, I would have directed the film", he revealed to Pinkvilla. ## The film, produced by Salman Khan Films and Kabir Khan Films, tells the story of Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi (Salman Khan), a devotee of the Hindu deity Hanuman, who embarks on a journey to take a mute six-year-old Pakistani Muslim girl Shahida (Harshaali Malhotra), separated in India from her mother, back to her hometown. It also starred Kareena Kapoor and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in pivotal roles. ## Stay tuned...

Filmmaker Vijayendra Prasad Gives Major Update on Salman Khan-Fronted 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2'

Mumbai, July 17 - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan announced the sequel to his cult classic blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan last year though the details were not disclosed then. Vijayendra Prasad, who wrote the first part, has been working on the sequel as well, and now, he has provided a major update on this highly-anticipated sequel. ## During a recent interview with Pinkvilla, the filmmaker said that he has locked the basic idea of the sequel and it will be the continuation of the first part. The sequel, which is titled Pawan Putra Bhaijaan, will take place 10 years after the first part and it might start rolling out next year. ## "I have narrated the story outline to Bhai and he has loved it. Now the ball is in his court to decide on timelines. The story takes an 8 to 10-year leap in Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. I am hopeful that the sequel will be no lesser than the first part", he said. ## Vijayendra Prasad also revealed that he got the basic idea about the "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" movie from Megastar Chiranjeevi's "Pasivadi Pranam". One of Vijayendra Prasad's associates suggested he should make a movie in which our hero goes to Pakistan and bashes them. He said he improvised the script as the intention was to make a film that doesn't increase the animosity between the two countries but decreases it.## Salman Khan is currently shooting for Farhad Samji-directed "Bhaijaan". After wrapping up this action comedy, Salman will move on to another much-anticipated sequel of "No Entry" from January 2023. He also has "Tiger 3" scheduled to release on Eid 2023 and "Dabangg 4" in the pipeline. ## Stay tuned...
