Sonakshi Sinha joins Akshay Kumar in ‘Jolly LLB 2’?

Not long after news emerged that Akshay Kumar was likely to replace Arshad Warsi in ‘Jolly LLB 2’ comes a report that Sonakshi Sinha could also be joining the cast.

The film will be a sequel to 2013’s ‘Jolly LLB’ and director Subhash Kapoor was keen on keeping the original actress Amrita Rao for the female lead in the second instalment. Rao was unable to take up the role due to other commitments and it seems Sinha has now been approached. Box Office Capsule reveal a source stating, “‘Jolly LLB�۪ got good reviews from critics and audience alike and obviously the expectations from the sequel are high. The makers are keen that the second part be bigger and better and therefore have approached several A-list stars for the project. After finalising Akshay and Manoj Bajpayee, they have approached Sonakshi Sinha and a few other actresses for the film”.

“Sonakshi has worked with Akshay in the past and their on-screen chemistry has been appreciated. She fits the bill perfectly. If things fall in place, she may be finalised for the role,” continued the source.

Sinha will also be seen with Kumar in the forthcoming ‘Namastey England’.
