John Abraham & Arjun Kapoor showdown in ‘Ek Villain 2’?

Since its revelation, lots of exciting things have been shared about Mohit Suri’s ‘Ek Villain 2’. The first announcement had an ensemble cast featuring John Abraham, Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani, and Tara Sutaria. However recently, it was reported that Kapur was no longer associated with the project.

Pinkvilla had shared a source saying that, “Aditya is no more a part of the action thriller anymore. He has opted out of ‘Ek Villain 2’. When Aditya was offered the part, he was extremely kicked about his role and the way Mohit has mounted the action set pieces in the film. It’s even bigger than the way he devised the same for Malang. But in the last few weeks, Mohit and Adi were continuously having creative differences on the script and his role.”

More recently, the publication reported that the filmmaker has roped in Arjun Kapoor for a showdown with Abraham. It stated, “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 instalment, both John and Arjun play villains.”

“There are several confrontation adrenaline pumping action set pieces 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,” added the source.
