Veteran superstar Jeetendra Kapoor gave a pleasant surprise to Bollywood actors John Abraham and Disha Patani, who are busy shooting for their upcoming outing Ek Villain Returns. The megastar paid a visit to the sets of the film and also gave his blessings to the team.

The makers of the film took to their Instagram account and shared a series of pictures.

Ek Villain Returns is the sequel of the 2014 Bollywood film Ek Villain which featured Sidharth Malhotra, Shraddha Kapoor, and Riteish Deshmukh in the lead roles. Released in 2014, Ek Villain revolved around the story of a hardened criminal whose terminally ill wife is murdered by a serial killer. Starring Sidharth, Shraddha, and Riteish in lead roles, the movie was a box office hit.

Mohit, who is helming the upcoming film, is widely known for films like Half Girlfriend, Aashiqui 2, Murder 2, Zeher and Kalyug, among others. Ek Villain Returns is being jointly produced by T-Series and Balaji Telefilms.

Apart from the Ek Villain sequel, John also has films like Satyameva Jayate 2 and Mumbai Saga coming up. Meanwhile, Arjun is awaiting the release of Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Bhoot Police. Disha will next be seen in Salman Khan-starrer action movie Radhe.
