Kick Turns 12! A Glimpse At ‘Devil’ Salman Khan And Sajid Nadiadwala’s Brotherly Bond

When Kick shattered box office records 12 years ago, it didn’t just mark Sajid Nadiadwala’s massive Rs 402-crore worldwide directorial debut, it proved a long-held theory by Salman Khan right.

When Salman Khan Called Sajid Nadiadwala His Brother

Long before Nadiadwala stepped behind the camera, Salman was already insisting on for him to take the helm. “If there’s anybody who has the right to direct in this industry, it’s Sajid,” Khan once revealed, adding with his signature candor, “He should’ve started directing 10 years ago.”

For Salman, it wasn’t just about backing a friend; it was about Nadiadwala’s uncanny pulse on storytelling, comedy, and music. “He won’t make a film for the sake of making a film,” Salman noted. “He will make a film only because he feels it’s a kickass film that will do well and earn him respect.”

Beyond the blockbusters and the numbers, their partnership ran deeper than business.Sal man summed up their bond in one powerful statement: “What I think of Sajid is exactly what I would think of Sohail and Arbaaz, my brother.”

About The Film

Produced under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, Kick went on to become the first-ever film by a debutant director to cross the Rs 400 crore mark worldwide. Twelve years later, the film remains a high-octane monument to one of Bollywood’s most powerful creative brotherhoods.
