According to an article in the daily, a source close to the project confirmed, “Jacqueline Fernandez will not be a part of Kick 2, however, this is not because of any issue between anyone, but because the story is completely different. Jacqueline’s track ended in Kick. In fact, Kick 2 has a completely new plot and character, hence Sajid Nadiadwala and his team decided to cast a new leading lady. They’ve shortlisted a few names and should make an announcement soon.”

Rumour mills were abuzz a couple of months back that actress Deepika Padukone was approached for Kick 2 but things could not materialise and she could not join the Kick 2, team. Hence the makers had to announce the release date with just Salman’s name on it. The announcement of the lead actress for the film will be made soon as the makers are currently in discussion with at least three top actresses of the industry.
