Released in 2017, *Kaabil* showcased Hrithik Roshan in one of his most compelling roles. He portrayed Rohan Bhatnagar, a visually impaired voice artist whose tranquil existence is upended by a tragic event. The film takes viewers on a thrilling and calculated quest for justice, resonating deeply with a dedicated fanbase that has long yearned for a sequel. Now, filmmaker Sanjay Gupta has exciting news: *Kaabil 2* is officially in the works.
In response to a fan’s enthusiastic tweet on X (formerly known as Twitter), praising *Kaabil* as a top-tier revenge thriller, Gupta shared his confirmation, stating, “IT’S R E FLA D Y ! ! ! And this time far DEADELLIER!!!!” The excitement among fans exploded, with many taking to the comments to express their eagerness. One user asked, “Are you seriously making it with HR?” while another exclaimed, “News of the year!” A fan humorously commented, “Bana do sir,” and another chimed in, “Rohan Bhatnagar is coming back?”
*Kaabil* was celebrated for Hrithik’s poignant performance, where he masterfully conveyed Rohan’s innocence, heartbreak, and resolve. Critics and audiences alike were captivated by his ability to carry the film largely on his shoulders, enhancing a conventional revenge tale with emotional depth.
