If the latest buzz is to go by, it is learnt that Shahid Kapoor will not feature in the sequel of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, instead, Imran Khan will play ‘Chhota Rajan’. It is also heard that it is Kareena Kpoor who has recommended Imy’s name for the movie.
As per a source associated with the film, “Kareena feels that Imran would bring novelty to the character inspired by Rajan. More so because he has played strong romantic roles in most of his films.”
That’s not the only reason. The actress has managed to get along with her Short Term Shaadi co-star very well. Say’s an insider, “That’s also one reason why she’s so strongly recommending Imran’s for this movie.”
On talking to Tanuj Garg, CEO Balaji Motion Pictures, he said, “It’s still too early to talk about the parallel male lead. When things are finalized, we’ll make a formal announcement.”
