Salman Khan insists on original script for Wanted 2

Three years after the release and subsequent success of Wanted, producer Boney Kapoor has again decided to team up with director Prabhu Deva and Salman Khan for its sequel Wanted 2. It is said that Kapoor has already sounded Salman of the project. And though Salman has agreed to do the film, his only pre-condition is that the second part of the franchise should be original. Accordingly, an original script is being penned. It is well-known fact that Wanted was a remake of Puri Jagannath’s Telugu hit Pokiri, but Salman doesn’t want to touch South Indian remakes as of now. So, after Sajid Nadidwala’s Kick (a remake of a Telugu film) and Sohail Khan’s Mental (remake of Stalin), the Dabangg star doesn’t want to work in remakes any more. In fact, Sohail was keen to do a South Indian remake with Salman. But Salman preferred Sher Khan. Likewise No Entry was a remake of South Indian film. But its sequel No Entry Mein Entry is an original script.
