Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Akshay Kumar held
a joint press conference to announce
that Akshay had decided to postpone the
release of his Padman on January 25 to
facilitate Bhansali's Padmaavat, Bhansali had
said he didn't know how to thank Akshay
Kumar.
In response, "By making
Rowdy Rathod 2, Akshay had quipped
jokingly. Now it turns out the remark wasn't
made so facetiously after all. Bhansali and
Akshay are indeed coming together for an
encore to their 2012 hit.
Prabhu Dheva who directed the first Rowdy
Rathod film will be back directing the
sequel. Says a source close to the
development, "Rowdy Rathod 2 would not
be a remake of a Telugu film but based on
an original script. Akshay will return as
Inspector Vikram Rathod who has serious
temper management issues. Prabhu
Dheva will direct, while the rest of the cast
is yet to be finalized.
