There is a new addition to the cast of Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai – 2. Akshay Kumar who took over Emraan Hashmi’s character of Dawood in the sequel to Ekta Kapoor’s 2010 hit will be romancing opposite the Dabangg girl, Sonakshi Sinha. The actress will play the role of Mandakini, who was real life love interest of Dawood.
Though there were media reports that Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif or Deepika Padukone may pair up with Akshay in this Milan Luthria film, the success of Dabangg has such a far reaching impact that Sonakshi is being considered as a worthy contender to the established actresses as well. A source says, “Ekta Kapoor and Milan were taking their time to choose the leading lady for Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2. They want the girl to be perfect. Initially, they wanted a leading lady to essay the role of Mandakini. But now, they are considering Sonakshi.”
Akshay and Sonakshi have already been paired in Joker, a movie that will release this December. The pair will also be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Rowdy Rathod’. So this chemistry is going to be interesting . The source adds, “Akshay and Sonakshi are already doing Shirish Kunder’s Joker and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Rowdy Rathod to be directed by Prabhudeva together. Ekta and Milan will obviously keep that in mind while making their choice,” added the source.
There are also reports that the casting is not over Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai 2. They are looking for a parallel hero in the film.
