Bold claim: Salman Khan just publicly backed Pranit More for Kick 2, turning a finale moment into a potential career leap. Here’s the rewritten, fully unique version that preserves all key details while expanding for clarity and accessibility.
During the Bigg Boss 19 finale, Pranit More—renowned for his sharp wit on the show—received a high-profile show of support from Salman Khan. Salman didn’t just cheer him on; he also teased a future collaboration, promising to clear the metaphorical baggage of jokes about Bollywood that Pranit has carried. He stated that Kick 2 is in progress and, in a playful yet firm tone, expressed his intent to recommend Pranit for a role in the film.
The moment came as part of the finale’s lighthearted exchanges. In a segment known as the ‘baggage’ challenge, Pranit, alongside Ananya Panday and Kartik Aaryan, confessed a habit of joking about Bollywood stars. Salman’s quick, humorous reaction underlined his easygoing rapport with the contestants. Pranit admitted, “Aur ek baggage tha mera, ki main Bollywood ke bahut actors pe jokes banata tha toh woh baggage bhi main yehi… (I have one more baggage. I used to make several jokes on and about Bollywood actors, I want to leave that here).”
Salman wasn’t shy about taking the joke further. He quipped back, “Woh baggage toh hum khali karenge. Woh aapka zimma nahi hai, woh hum sabka zimma hai,” indicating that the burden of previous jokes would be cleared by everyone, not just Pranit. The exchange kept the mood light while underscoring Salman’s support.
On the topic of Kick 2, Salman reaffirmed his commitment: “Toh abhi Kick 2 kar raha hu main aur tumhara naam main waha par 100% recommend karna wala hu.” In other words, while he’s currently actively working on the film, he is fully prepared to advocate for Pranit to join the project. The moment left Pranit visibly delighted and amused.
Context on the original Kick film
Kick, released in 2014, was produced and directed by Sajid Nadiadwala and serves as an unofficial Hindi remake of the 2009 Telugu blockbuster starring Ravi Teja. The film boasted a notable ensemble cast, including Jacqueline Fernandez, Randeep Hooda, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Mithun Chakraborty, Archana Puran Singh, Vipin Sharma, Saurabh Shukla, and Sanjay Mishra in significant roles. Reports indicate that a sequel is in development, with anticipation high among fans.
Salman Khan’s current slate
Meanwhile, Salman Khan is actively filming the intense action drama Battle of Galwan and, beyond that, is widely anticipated to begin shooting Kick 2 next year. Fans are eagerly awaiting another high-octane installment that could deliver the same adrenaline and drama as the original.
