Rowdy Rathore, starring Akshay Kumar, was a massive hit at the box office, and reports suggest that its sequel is in the works. However, the fans of Vikrant Singh Rathore will not be happy hearing that Akshay Kumar may not return as the rugged cop.
Bhansali Productions wants a pan-India face
According to an India Today report, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s production house has officially started working on Rowdy Rathore 2. "Bhansali Productions is actively working on several major projects, including Rowdy Rathore 2. It’s one of the studio’s biggest franchises with a strong pan-India fan base. Given the film’s wide popularity, the makers are looking to cast a major pan-Indian star," a source told the publication.
This appears to be a major hint that Akshay, who led the 2012 hit film, might not be a part of the sequel. However, there has been no official announcement about the cast.
