Mohit Suri’s Ek Villain starring Sidharth Malhotra, Shraddha Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh received lots of accolades from critics and the audience. The film fared well at the box office too. Recently, there have been reports about Mohit Suri’s Ek Villain to have a sequel titled Ek Villain 2 starring Sidharth Malhotra and Kriti Sanon. However, during an interview with a leading Indian daily, Mohit has denied such rumours by stating, "I've heard that I am making Ek Villain 2 and that I already have a bound script which has been given to Aditya. But nothing like that is happening. Ek Villan is a Balaji Telefilms property and they haven't approached me yet."
Mohit Suri will be teaming up with Aditya Roy Kapur for a new movie. Confirming the same, he said, "Yes, I am working with Aditya. It will be a thriller."
Adding further, he said, "My earlier films like Murder 2 and Kalyug were also the same genre."
Earlier, Mohit had said in an interview, "I am working on a script and dying to work with Aditya. Even as friends, I have to wow him with the script. Once I am done writing, I will pitch it to him."
Reports suggest that he is planning to cast Shraddha Kapoor opposite Aditya Roy Kapur in the film. Talking about the same, he said, "I don’t know that as yet. Working with both of them would be great since I share a bond with them. After Aashiqui 2, I would love to work with them once again."
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
