Mohit Suri decided to part ways with Aditya Roy Kapur following creative differences over the ‘Ek Villain 2’ script. Subsequently, producers Bhushan Kumar and Ekta Kapoor have found a replacement in Arjun Kapoor, who is all charged up about taking on John Abraham in the action-thriller. This will be a second collaboration for Arjun with Mohit after ‘Half Girlfriend’ and the film is expected to take off towards the year-end with a marathon schedule. “A major chunk of the film will be shot abroad. The team is currently identifying locations where the pandemic has abated. Mohit is expected to fly off for a recce next month,” informs a source close to the development.
Arjun, like John, plays a grey character in this film, along the lines of ‘Ishaqzaade’ and ‘Aurangzeb’. According to the source, Mohit has made some changes in the script and character following Arjun’s entry into the project. “He has two- three different looks in the film, with the key one being a ripped physique. He will be hitting the gym rigorously for the next few months to work on his body. The story focuses on a confrontation between two powerful personalities,” the source informed.
While John will romance Disha Patani, Arjun will be paired alongside Tara Sutaria.
