Shahid Kapoor to play the underworld don in 'Once Upon in Mumbai 2'

New Delhi: The back to back success of 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbai' and 'The Dirty Picture' has made the director Milan Luthria a hot property. The director who started his career with 'Kachche Dhaage' in 1999, is currently shooting for his next film 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbai 2'.

Milan Luthria says his much-anticipated sequel 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2' will not follow any 'gangster movie trend' as in his film the focus will be on flamboyance, drama and music.

"As far as gangster trends are concerned, I think we stand apart as our take on gangsters is very different. It's more of a flamboyance, drama, music and dialogues. So it's a different space and thankfully we are the only ones in that space," Milan said here at an awards function.

The year began with hit gangster film 'Agneepath', and it will be followed by 'Zilla Ghaziabad' and Anurag Kashyap's 'Gangs of Wasseypur'.

Produced by Balaji Telefilms, the cast of 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2' so far includes Akshay Kumar, who will play underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and Shahid Kapoor as Chhota Rajan.

Luthria says some more interesting names will join the cast.

"We are putting it together carefully. Some interesting casting is to happen, but we are taking our time. It's a big film, it's an eagerly-anticipated sequel. Akshay is also as excited as all of us. (Composer) Pritam has started work. In a few weeks from now, we will be making all our final announcements."

The director is currently basking in the success of 'The Dirty Picture'.(With additional inputs from IANS)

Good. I hope he gets too busy with this role to give dates for Vettai remake😆 I seriously don't want to see him taking up Arya's role 😳

Well you sure seem to think he is a brilliant actor but I think he is very mediocre. And I don't think he fits into the character that Arya played in Vettai. I just don't want to see a favourite film of mine being ruined 😒 Bollywood has a long history of making crappy South Indian remakes But we'll see how things go. Sometimes miracles do happen😆

Ready was a remake of a Telugu movie by the same name but they completely ruined the movie😳 The only reason why it worked was because of Sallu Bhai's box office pull but otherwise if you compare the quality of it to the original one it was CRAP. It is one of the worst hindi movies I have ever seen yet I cannot seem to understand how it became that big of a hit😲 Even Sallu fans admit Ready was a batshit crappy movie😆 And same thing happened with bodyguard. The original was brilliant and its Tamil and Telugu remakes were good too but the hindi version was just so very lame🥱 I think due to the huge cultural differences between the North and South, the story of a remake gets changed completely to the point where it stops making much sense😕 and stops flowing together
