Sidharth Malhotra Might Join The Cast Of Aankhen 2 With Amitabh, Saif And Jacqueline

Sidharth Malhotra seems to be flooded with offers right now despite his last box-office outing with Aiyaary turning out to be a total dud. Sidharth has just finished working on Jabariya Jodi and Marjavaan with Parineeti Chopra and Tara Sutaria respectively and is currently shooting for the Vikram Batra biopic titled Shershah.

As if all of that did not make Sidharth busy enough, he might also be a part of Aankhen 2, the sequel to the 2002 thriller Aankhen. Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Paresh Rawal and Jacqueline Fernandez have already been cast for the film and reports suggest that director Anees Bazmee is keen on getting Sidharth Malhotra on board as well.

A source close to the actor revealed, “Sid and Bazmee have had a few meetings and they both wanted to collaborate on a film together. Although there's another comedy that Anees wants Sid to do for him, that's a solo-hero project. But right now, he wants the actor to take up Aankhen 2. It's an important character and Sid has also shown interest. Once he returns after completing his Shershaah schedule, he will sit for narration and take a final call on the same.”

We sincerely hope that Sidharth takes up the project because it will be incredibly interesting to see this unique cast in a film.

Aankhen id a 2002 thriller starring Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Paresh Rawal and Sushmita Sen. The film was liked for its then-unique premise of a disgruntled ex-employee of a bank, suffering from schizophrenia, training three blind men with the help of a trainer to rob the very same bank.
