The director’s hint arrives almost exactly a year after Hrithik Roshan himself expressed strong interest in reprising his role. During the promotional campaign for the family documentary The Roshans in January 2025, the actor was asked which of his films deserved a sequel. Without hesitation, he named Kaabil, highlighting his personal attachment to the story and character that earned widespread acclaim for his nuanced portrayal.
Social media erupted following Gupta’s post, with numerous users pressing for confirmation on Hrithik’s involvement. Comments ranged from eager questions such as “Are you seriously making it with HR?” to direct appeals tagging fan accounts, urging them to verify the news. The overwhelming response underscores the enduring popularity of Hrithik’s performance and the demand for a continuation of the emotionally charged revenge saga.
Originally released in 2017, Kaabil starred Hrithik Roshan as a visually impaired voice artist seeking justice after a personal tragedy. The film also featured Yami Gautam, Ronit Roy, and Rohit Roy in pivotal roles. Written by Vijay Kumar Mishra and produced by Rakesh Roshan under Filmkraft Productions, it received mixed reviews overall but was widely praised for Hrithik’s standout acting that elevated the narrative beyond a conventional thriller.
While neither Sanjay Gupta nor Hrithik Roshan has officially confirmed the casting or production timeline, the director’s recent engagement has kept anticipation alive. Fans continue to speculate whether the original lead will return to helm what could become one of Bollywood’s most anticipated sequels, building on the legacy of a film remembered primarily for its powerful central performance.
