The makers of Salman Khan starrer Kick 2 have locked Christmas 2019 for the release. The production house, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, took to Twitter to announce the release date of the second installment of the Kick franchise.

"The wait is over! Devil is back! Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Kick 2' starring Salman Khan releases Christmas 2019," the tweet read.
