Actor Hrithik Roshan’s critical acclaim Kaabil is back with its sequel. The news broke on January 13, 2026, when director Sanjay Gupta took to X to respond to a fan’s query. A journalist had posted a glowing tribute to the original film, calling it one of the best revenge thrillers and asking the million-dollar question: “When do we get to see #Kaabil2?”
Sanjay Gupta didn’t hold back. He replied with an enthusiastic:
“It’s ready, And this time far Deadellier!!”
This short but powerful confirmation immediately went viral. It suggests that not only is the film happening, but the script or the conceptual stage is already complete.
The original Kaabil, released in 2017, featured Hrithik Roshan as Rohan Bhatnagar, a visually impaired voice-over artist. The story followed his heartbreaking journey of seeking justice after a brutal tragedy involving his wife, played by Yami Gautam.
Critics and fans alike consider Kaabil one of Hrithik’s most nuanced performances. Playing a blind character who is both vulnerable and a lethal strategist required immense skill.
Interestingly, this confirmation comes exactly a year after Hrithik himself mentioned in an interview (January 2025) that if there were one film of his that deserved a sequel, it would be Kaabil. It seems his wish—and the fans’—is finally coming true.
While plot details are still under wraps, Sanjay Gupta’s promise of a “deadlier” narrative hints at a much darker and more intense tone. Since the first film concluded the revenge arc against the Shellar brothers, the sequel will likely explore a completely new challenge for Rohan Bhatnagar.
Fans are eager to see how Rohan uses his heightened senses and voice-mimicry skills to outsmart a new set of villains. With the word “deadlier” being used, we can expect the action sequences to be more sophisticated and the emotional stakes to be even higher.
Hrithik Roshan recently celebrated his 52nd birthday (January 10, 2026) and has been busy with big-ticket projects like War 2. With Kaabil 2 now confirmed by the director, the film is expected to move into pre-production soon.
While an official release date hasn’t been locked, the buzz suggests that the makers are looking to capitalize on the cult following the first film has built over the last nine years. To know such latest updates tuned to tellyboosters.com Thank you!
