Mohit
Suri
is
all
set
to
direct
Ek
Villain
2
with
Aditya
Roy
Kapur
and
John
Abraham
in
lead
roles.
Few
days
ago,
it
was
announced
that
Disha
Patani
has
joined
the
cast
as
John's
leading
lady
in
the
action-thriller.
And
now,
the
makers
have
finalized
Tara
Sutaria
opposite
Aditya
Roy
Kapur
in
this
multistarrer.
Reportedly,
Tara,
who
croons
in
real
life,
will
be
playing
a
singer
in
the
sequel.
Director
Mohit
Suri
confirmed
this
news
and
told
Mumbai
Mirror,
"It
takes
a
lifetime
to
get
the
nuances
of
a
musician
but
luckily
for
me,
Tara
has
been
training
for
this
all
her
life.
What
more
can
a
filmmaker
ask
for?"
The
director
said
that
he
believes
Tara
has
the
voice
of
today
and
added,
"A
new-age,
uninhibited
voice
which
comes
from
a
place
of
honesty.
That's
exactly
what
my
character
needs
in
the
film." It
is
being
said
that
Tara's
character
will
be
in
the
space
of
Gone
Girl's
lead.
Earlier,
Mohit
opened
up
about
casting
Disha
in
Ek
Villain
2
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Disha
is
the
first
heroine
who
walked
up
to
me
and
said,
'I
want
to
do
more
action,
beat
up
people,
perform
stunts...
kick
some
bu**.
Just
the
way
boys
do
it
in
your
films.
I
want
to
be
the
hero'.
That's
when
I
asked
her
if
she
would
do
the
Ek
Villain
sequel
and
she
was
game."
Reportedly,
Mohit
is
planning
to
create
his
own
universe
of
villains,
who
will
come
together
in
a
final
showdown
and
Ek
Villain
2
is
a
step
forward
in
this
direction.
A
source
close
to
the
development
told
Mumbai
Mirror,
"We
have
seen
a
crossover
of
superheroes
and
super
cops.
With
this
franchise,
Mohit
is
looking
to
explore
the
dark
side
of
human
behaviour
and
continue
with
it
in
the
future."
Ek
Villain
2
is
slated
to
go
on
floors
in
the
middle
of
this
year.
It
is
slated
to
hit
the
big
screens
on
January
8,
2021.
