Preparation for ‘Badlapur’ sequel finally underway?

BizAsiaLive.com has reported for some time that ‘Badlapur 2’ was on the cards. It seems prep for the second instalment of 2015’s ‘Badlapur’ has begun for director Sriram Raghavan and producer Dinesh Vijan.

Varun Dhawan featured in the first film and was appreciated in his role which had negative shades. “Sriram will give Dinesh a choice of two scripts. The first is an adventure thriller while the other one is a revenge drama. The latter is on the lines of Badlapur and Dinesh wants to pitch it as Badlapur 2. But it is not a follow-up on the earlier story, this is a different plot altogether but in the same zone,” said a source, as reported by Pune Mirror.

It seems the duo are not sure whether they will repeat Dhawan for this new film, as the source continues, “Sriram usually prefers to cast for his film only after his script is ready. But yes, the makers are on the lookout for an A-lister. It’s too early to confirm if Varun will be a part of the project.”

When contacted, Raghavan wasn’t open to discussing the second film but he said he’s looking for a “more Hindi title” this time round.
