'Rowdy Rathore 2': Sidharth Malhotra to succeed Akshay Kumar? Find out here

Actor Sidharth Malhotra is likely to succeed Akshay Kumar in the sequel of his super hit action comedy 'Rowdy Rathore'. Reports in Pinkvilla suggested that the 'Shershaah' actor is currently in talks with the makers of the film.

Quoting a source, Pinkvilla wrote, 'Shabina Khan has been trying to develop Rowdy Rathore 2 for a while now, but has been waiting for all factors to fall in place. She has finally managed to lock the core idea for Rowdy Rathore 2 and is in the conversation stage with Sidharth Malhotra to play the role of a cop in this film. Sid too has shown interest, however, is still contemplating if he should play a cop role outside of the Rohit Shetty Cop Universe.'

The source added, 'The makers are looking to take the film on floors in the next 2 months as the basics are already on paper. It’s just about getting a cast on board the film now. The talks are also on with a top director, who delivered a blockbuster last year, to be at the helm of the affair.'

Sidharth was last seen in 'Mission Majnu'. The actor also has 'Yodha' in the pipeline which is scheduled to release in theatres on July 7, 2023.
