A source close to the development reportedly told Bollywood Hungama, ""While Kick was directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, the sequel will be helmed by AR Murugadoss. Sajid Nadiadwala will be overseeing the entire project as he feels this one has the potential to be the biggest grosser of his production house."

The source further revealed, "When Sajid heard the script, the first name that came to his mind was Salman Khan. When the producer took the film to Salman, he loved it and instantly agreed to come on board. The script beautifully leads itself to the world of Kick and will mark the return of Salman Khan as Devi Lal Singh aka. Devil."
