Riteish Deshmukh in line for Baaghi 3

Riteish Deshmukh has hit the big leagues as he is now a prime candidate for multi-starrer movies.

The Total Dhamaal actor, who will soon be seen in the Sidharth Malhotra-Tara Sutaria starrer Marjaavan, is going to be a part of the Baaghi franchise as well.

Sources inform us that the actor is being considered to play a pivotal role in the Ahmed Khan directed film. “Producer Sajid Nadiadwala and Riteish are very close friends. Ahmed Khan directed the second part of Baaghi and is directing the third part too and Sajid suggested that they cast Riteish in an important role in the film. In fact, Riteish’s runaway Marathi hit Lai Bhaari was also based on an idea from Sajid, and he was even given credit for the story in the titles. Riteish is also a part of the Housefull series  bankrolled by Sajid and hence the suggestion came up,” informs our source.

An official announcement in this regard is expected to be made shortly, add sources.
