After the stupendous success of ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’, Bollywood action star Ajay Devgn, who was also the producer of the film, is reportedly planning a sequel centered on India’s unsung heroes. If reports are to be believed, the sequel will also be directed by the same director Om Raut.
However, the cherry on the top of the cake is ‘Greek God’ Hrithik Roshan. As per reports, Ajay Devgn is keen on casting Hrithik Roshan as the main villain, marking the collaboration of the two superstars for the first time in Indian cinema.
Yes, you read that right! If everything falls into place, Hrithik Roshan is mostly likely to play a significant role as the main villain of the movie. Earlier, the two were reportedly planning to make a film on the story of Maratha general Baji Prabhu Deshpande, known for his valour in the Battle of Pavan Khind (1660).
Baji Prabhu sacrificed his life defending Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. However, a Marathi film Pawankhind which explored the same subject, led to the scrapping of the film.
However, Ajay feels Hrithik has tremendous screen presence and charisma and is keen on collaborating him with a period film.
“Hrithik has tremendous screen presence. Couple that with his acting prowess, and he would be a towering rival to Ajay’s character. If things align, this dynamic duo will be one of the highlights of the sequel,” a Bollywood Hungama report mentioned citing and insider.
While these are all speculations, both Ajay and Hrithik are yet to officially release a statement regarding the same.
On the work front, Ajay was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Again’ while Hrithik Roshan is gearing up for the release of his upcoming high octane-action film ‘War 2’ also starring Tollywood heartthrob Jr. NTR and Kiara Advani.
