The makers of 2007 slapstick "Welcome" are all set to go aboard with its sequel now.
Suitably titled “Welcome Back”, the comic caper will hit the floors without Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. Apparently, Anees Bazmee has roped in John Abraham and Shruti Hassan for the lead roles. However, the movie will repeat its previous comic stalwarts Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar and Paresh Rawal.
However, the big question is who will play the whimsical mafia RDX in the movie? With Feroz Khan no more among us, who will fill his shoes in this entertaining sequel?
Buzz is that Amitabh Bachchan has been called in to reprise Feroz's part in the movie. However, we are yet to get any confirmation on this.
"We have not locked Mr Bachchan for Feroz bhai's role. It was a small role but his (Feroz) presence made the role larger. But this role is big and different in the sequel," director Anees Bazmee told reporters here at the mahurat.
"We are in talks with Amitji... we are waiting for his approval," producer Firoz Nadiadwala said.
"Every actor plays an important character in this film. All the characters are important in the film, if one is not there then the film will be incomplete. All the characters are well defined," Bazmee said.
