Disha Patani joins John Abraham and Aditya Roy Kapur in Mohit Suri's Ek Villain 2

Earlier this year, we had reported to you that Mohit Suri is all set to turn his 2014's film Ek Villain into a franchise. The filmmaker has joined hands with John Abraham and his Malang and Aashiqui 2 actor Aditya Roy Kapur. And now, it looks like, the director is all keen on working with Disha Patani again. Yes, you read that right. It as per a report in Mumbai Mirror, Disha Patani has been approached to play one of the female leads in the film.

"Disha is the first heroine who walked up to me and said, 'I want to do more action, beat up people, perform stunts kick some butt. Just the way boys do it in your films. I want to be the hero'. That's when I asked her if she would do the Ek Villain sequel and she was game," Suri told the daily while adding that this time, the Bharat actress will be seen in a different avatar. "While Malang brought Disha's free-spirited avatar to light, this one will showcase her as an integral part of the action-franchise," Mohit added further.

A source close to the development of the film informed Mirror that Disha would be paired opposite John Abraham and not Aditya Roy Kapur in Ek Villain 2. Her character in the film will be inspired by the movie, Gone Girl. "The makers are trying to give the film a different twist by pairing them, considering she was opposite Aditya in their last film. Disha will be seen doing some heavy-duty stunts as well. The hunt for a second leading lady is still on," the source added.

The Mohit Suri directorial is produced by Ekta Kapoor and Bhushan Kumar and would release on 8th Januar 2021. What do you have to say about Disha and John's pairing in Ek Villain 2? Let us know by tweeting to us @bollywood_life.
