Warda Nadiadwala announces Jacqueline Fernandez will star alongside Salman Khan in 'Kick 2'

Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez, who is celebrating her 35th birthday today, received the perfect gift as the makers of Kick 2 announced that she is the female lead of the upcoming Salman Khan film.

Warda Nadiadwala shared on Twitter, “Here is your BIRTHDAY GIFT that will be remembered Forever! @Asli_Jacqueline overjoyed to FORMALLY announce that #SajidNadiadwala locked the script at 4 am this morning & has written an exceptional role for you! @BeingSalmanKhan’s #Kick2 rolling soon Welcome

Kick 2 was earlier announced with Salman Khan in the lead role, but the name of the female lead was not revealed. In January, Kick 2 director Sajid Nadiadwala had told PTI, “We are yet to lock the female co-star, post which we will start working on the shoot dates. Kick 2 will happen in December 2021. I am in a process to finish writing the script.”

With the coronavirus pandemic, it is yet to be known if the release date of Kick 2 will be pushed further.
