Vishal Bharadwaj has proved that no matter how much contribution the female lead may have made to a film; he would not necessarily cast her for the sequel. So just like Priyanka Chopra is not in Kaminey 2, there will not be the sensuous Vidya Balan for Ishqiya 2. The male cast comprising of Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi will be in the film. Instead of Vidya, the team is on the lookout for two girls for the sequel

The news may come as surprise for Vidya’s fans that were totally besotted by the woman. In fact, the actress went on to win numerous awards and appreciation for the role. The actress even attended the party when Vishal had announced Ishqiya 2. She had also been voicing the fact that she would love to do the sequel with Shah Rukh Khan and Hugh Jackman, if she had her way, underscoring the fact that she all along, thought that she would be in the sequel.

The director Abhishek Chaubey says, “Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi do fall in love again in the sequel but not with Vidya. They fall in love with two different girls. The script doesn’t have a role for Vidya, unfortunately.”

There are rumors that Madhuri Dixit had been approached to play one of the ‘roles’ in the film. “Madhuri asked for a very high fee. So we don’t know whether she is a part of the film, yet,” says one source. Stay tuned to this site for more information about the casting development of Ishqiya 2.
