We hear, directors Raj DK and Krishna Nidimoru were keen to have the Shahid actor play the baddie in the action drama. Rajkummar too has shown interest in the role.
The casting to the sequel began last summer. While Jacqueline replaced Katrina Kaif, Sidharth stepped into Hrithik’s shoes (Sidharth replaces Hrithik in Bang Bang, Aug 19). Danny Denzongpa was the fierce villain in the 2014 release.
Rajkummar remained unavailable for comment.
