Sidharth Malhotra on a roll with Aankhen 2

Sidharth Malhotra may not have had a great slate in the recent past with four flops back-to-back in the form of Baar Baar Dekho, A Gentleman, Ittefaq, and Aiyyary, but the actor seems to be on top of his game in the films to come. “His last big hit was Kapoor and Sons in 2016 which is three years ago. Now, not only does he have Marjaavan with Riteish Deshmukh for producer Karan Johar, he also has Jabariya Jodi with Parineeti Chopra up for release. The actor is also is in talks to be signed on for the multi-starrer Aankhen 2 by director Anees Bazmee. There are quite a few names like Saif Ali Khan, Paresh Rawal and Jacqueline Fernandez being tossed up as part of the cast with Amitabh Bachchan already being confirmed for the lead role. Sunny Deol’s name too had cropped up a while ago, but it turned out to be a cropper,” says a trade source. “John Abraham has been injured and Anees bhai has some time off from the shoot of Pagalpanti and has been working on the cast of Aankhen 2. One can expect a formal announcement soon,” adds the source.
