Sidharth Malhotra Rejects The Sequel To 'Rowdy Rathore'

Mumbai, April 19 - The sequel to blockbuster Rowdy Rathore is in early development as the makers are looking to cast a new actor to headline it.

Recently, it was reported that actor Sidharth Malhotra was approached to play the leading role, and the actor reportedly showed interest to do it. Just when it looked that Rowdy Rathore 2 has found its hero, the latest reports have confirmed that Sidharth has declined the role.



It is known to everyone that the "Ek Villain" actor is doing Rohit Shetty's cop web series "Indian Police Force" for Amazon Prime Video and reports have claimed that he rejects the blockbuster sequel for his OTT show. The actor wants to remain exclusive to Shetty's cop universe for the next two years and doesn't intend to do any other cop role.

There has been a growing demand for "Rowdy Rathore 2" over the years and it was the perfect opportunity for Sidharth to deliver a big hit. The makers have now reportedly started approaching other actors for the role. There is also a possibility that Akshay Kumar, who headlined the first movie, might return as Vikram Rathore with a new actor.

Sidharth, meanwhile, will next be seen in the director duo Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha's action thriller "Yodha" which is scheduled to release on July 7, 2023, in theaters worldwide.
