‘Ek Villain’ was one of the most loved films of 2014 and, recently, a sequel to the thriller was announced. Earlier, it was reported that the second part will star John Abraham, Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani, and Tara Sutaria. However, a few weeks back, it was reported that Kapur will no longer be part of the film.
Now, it is reported that Arjun Kapoor will be joining the cast and will be fighting John Abraham in the film.
According to a report in Pinkvilla, “Mohit’s Ek Villain 2 has four lead characters who are integral to the film’s narrative and take the story ahead. When Mohit Suri announced the sequel to his next film Ek Villain, it turned out to be a huge ensemble. John Abraham, Disha Patani, and Tara Sutaria were already locked for the film.”
“Reportedly, Aditya Roy Kapur was going to be the other male lead, but owing to creative differences over the script, it didn’t work out. So Mohit was looking for someone and roped in Arjun for the same. Unlike the first part, in this installment, both John and Arjun play villains.”
“There are several confrontation adrenaline-pumping action setpieces designed for both John and Arjun and it includes a mammoth fight sequence as well. Arjun is paired opposite Tara in the film, but the plot is such that there might also be an Arjun-Disha love angle as well,” said the report.
‘Ek Villian 2’ will reportedly be John and Arjun’s second film together, they will be a part of the Nikkhil Advani production venture. The film is expected to release this year.
