Sunny
Deol
has
been
approached
to
play
a
grey
role
in
Amitabh
Bachchan
starrer
Aankhen
sequel,
filmmaker
Anees
Bazmee
has
revealed.
"We
have
met
a
lot
of
people.
We
are
negotiating
with
actors
regarding
dates
and
finance.
Once
things
are
finalised
we
will
make
a
formal
announcement.
We
did
meet
Sunny
ji,
we
have
known
each
other
for
a
very
long
time.
It
is
a
grey
character,
it
is
a
very
nice
role.
Till
the
time
formalities
are
not
complete
we
can't
say
he
is
doing
the
film," Bazmee
told
PTI.
At
the
grand
launch
event
of
the
film
in
2016,
the
makers
had
announced
that
Anil
Kapoor,
Arshad
Warsi
and
Ileana
D'Cruz
will
join
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Arjun
Rampal
in
Aankhen
2.
The
film
will
be
produced
by
Eros
International
and
Tarun
Agarwal.
The
sequel
goes
on
floor
sometime
this
year
and
Bazmee
says
the
delay
is
caused
because
of
the
then
producer
Gaurang
Doshi.
The
director
did
not
wish
to
share
more
details.
"The
delay
was
because
of
the
producer.
We
will
start
work
this
year.
Bachchan
sahab
is
there
in
the
film.
It
is
going
to
be
a
multi-starrer
so
we
need
to
finalise
dates
of
all
actors."
The
2002
film,
directed
by
Vipul
Shah,
narrated
the
story
of
Vijay
Singh
Rajput
(Bachchan),
a
temperamental
man,
who
is
unceremoniously
stripped
of
his
duties
as
a
bank
manager
and
he
decides
to
seek
revenge
by
robbing
the
bank.
He
trains
three
blind
men
--
Arjun
Rampal,
Akshay
Kumar
and
Paresh
Rawal
-
to
do
the
job
for
him.
The
director
says
the
sequel
revolves
around
a
casino
heist.
"There
are
some
changes,
we
can't
talk
about
it
in
detail.
The
film
revolves
around
a
casino
heist,
we
are
shooting
it
abroad.
There
will
be
three
blind
men,
two
girls
and
one
antagonist.
There
are
some
eight
to
ten
main
characters." Asked
if
Kapoor,
Arshad
and
Ileana,
who
were
roped
in
three
years
back,
will
still
be
part
of
the
sequel,
Bazmee
said,
"Some
will
be
there
some
won't
be
there.
