Rowdy Rathore with Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead was a blockbuster back in 2012.
Since then, talks about a sequel have been making the rounds with no concrete information being reported.
Several names such as Sidharth Malhotra, Tiger Shroff, and even Shahid Kapoor have been considered to become a part of the action-entertainer.
In an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, it was reported that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has joined hands with Kannada director Prem to produce Rowdy Rathore 2.
However, looks like Bhansali has nothing to do with Rowdy Rathore 2.
A close source to Bhansali had previously shared how the director locked in the film plot a while back.
Once the scripting process is done, the casting will eventually begin.
The source told Pinkvilla, “Prem will full-fledged move into the pre-production of Rowdy Rathore 2 after the release of KD – The Devil. Rowdy Rathore 2 is expected to take off some time by the end of 2025, and the casting will begin in summer next year.”
On further asking about who the lead actor will be, and the possibility of seeing Akshay Kumar return, the source said it will be revealed in due time. There are chances of onboarding a new hero too.
