The discussion and theories regarding a sequel to the much-acclaimed Bollywood movie Kaabil, released in 2017, have once again been sparked after the respectable director Sanjay Gupta made a post on his social media with a hint that the fans associate with Kaabil 2. When a user on X asked Gupta when the sequel would be released, the director replied, “IT’S R E A D Y!!” And this time far DEADLIER!!!!” which instantly created a lot of excitement among netizens and followers. Although the particular wording of his response had fans buzzing and trying to figure it out, the overall message conveyed by the director was that the project is in the works.
Fans React With Enthusiasm and Curiosity
The digital response was very quick and lively, with fans commenting on Gupta’s enigmatic statement, the majority tagging Hrithik Roshan fan pages and impatiently inquiring if the eminent actor will take on his part again. Although reportedly Gupta’s post has been removed, and still no producer-level official confirmation has been released, the social media buzz is very strong, with fans speculating about plot directions and casting. Some comments indicated the wish for Hrithik’s return as Rohan Bhatnagar, the character he played in the first Kaabil, while others were not certain if the sequel will take a new storyline path.
The Legacy of Kaabil and Roshan’s Connection
The initial Kaabil had Hrithik Roshan in the leading role of a blind voice artist whose life is turned upside down by a tragedy, making him go for a revenge story seeking justice for his wife. The critics had a divided opinion about the film, but Roshan’s performance and emotional depth won over many, thus helping the movie secure its spot among the notable Bollywood thrillers. Almost a year back, when Hrithik Roshan was promoting another project, he was asked which of his films deserved a sequel, and he replied Kaabil, thus showing his interest in going back to the character and story.
What’s Next for Kaabil 2?
As the director’s hints and fan anticipation continue to rise, the number one question still on everyone’s lips is whether Roshan will take a step towards Kaabil 2 and what the new story might be like. The very fact that Gupta is describing the sequel as “much deadlier” implies that the plot is going to be very fierce and the stakes will be higher than in the first movie. While the industry keeps a close watch, the public is promised that the next announcements will clear the air about the cast, plot, and production timelines. Up to that point, the excitement around one of the most controversial possible sequels of Bollywood remains very high.
Why Might ‘Kaabil 2’ Be Hrithik Roshan’s Most Powerful Comeback?
The film ‘Kaabil 2’ is now considered by many as Hrithik Roshan’s strongest comeback and also the most powerful one, as it has brought back a highly intense and performance-centered character instead of a movie with lots of visual effects. In the previous Kaabil, Hrithik played a blind man who was a victim of grief and revenge; this very challenging role brought him not only wide acceptance but also a lot of praise for his skillful acting. With the director Sanjay Gupta declaring that the sequel will be “much deadlier,” the audience is already hoping for more emotional stakes, dark themes, and a plot that is psychologically thrilling. The above-mentioned, combined with Hrithik Roshan’s decision to do only a few films lately, means the thought of going back to such a difficult character has turned Kaabil 2 not just into another sequel but also a possible comeback of depth, intensity, and strong storytelling.
Kaabil’s Box Office Performance and Audience Impact
Kaabil, which was released in 2017, turned out to be a remarkable box-office success even though it had to contend with a major clash during its release. The movie garnered ₹150 crores worldwide, thus, it had a good commercial impact. Hrithik Roshan’s performance as a blind man who is fighting for justice was highly praised by the viewers, thus, he was able to grow strong word-of-mouth for the movie and affirm his role as one of his most powerful and unforgettable characters.
