Shahid Kapoor to step in for John Abraham in ‘Aankhen 2’?

Shahid Kapoor - Shaandaar 1

Shahid Kapoor, after last year’s ‘Haider’, became a heavily bankable star. Although his recent film ‘Shaandaar’ didn’t quite live up to expectations, he is still proving to be a good choice for filmmakers. The actor, BizAsia has learnt, could be replacing John Abraham in the upcoming sequel of 2002’s ‘Aankhen’.

Abraham has had to turn down the role which was offered to him by director Anees Bazmee. The actor is unable to accommodate the dates as he is busy with three films already – ‘Force 2’, ‘Dishoom’ and his production ‘Rocky Handsome’. It is thought that Bazmee may add Kapoor to the cast instead, according to Absolute India, but it is not known whether talks are on currently.

The sequel will star Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor and Nawazuddin Siddiqui but other details are as yet unknown.
