Imran Khan To Gain Weight For 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2'

Actor Imran Khan, who has mostly played the chocolate boy in most of his films save Delhi Belly and Kidnap, is all set to play a gritty gangster in the sequel to Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai and the actor will reportedly be putting on weight to play the role of Aslam, a gangster.
 
 Talking about Imran's role, director Milan Luthria was quoted to have said, "I feel I can give his character an edge so he is shockingly different and makes everyone sit up and take notice. While he is immensely popular with girls, I believe in an action film, the actor must look his best physically." On his part, Imran Khan was quoted to have said, "I will be starting my prep work as soon as I finish shooting Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola, as I want to make sure that I can achieve what Milan has in mind for me." Apart from Imran Khan, the film also stars Akshay Kumar, who will play a role modelled on underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
 
 Imran Khan will be seen playing the role of a rural youth in Vishal Bhardwaj's film Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola, where he will be paired opposite Anushka Sharma for the very first time.

Imran Khan as baddie in ‘Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai 2′

Bollywood actor Imran Khan, known for his chocolate boy looks, will turn baddie for the sequel of the 2010 film “Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai”. He will play a don in parallel lead with Akshay Kumar.

The movie was to feature Shahid Kapoor earlier but now Imran has been finalised for it.

“Talks were on with Shahid but we have decided on Imran now. Imran loved the script, and we are very gung-ho about this project. The audience will get to see a different Imran,” Girish Johar, head of acquisition and distribution, Balaji Motion Pictures, told IANS.

In the film, Akshay will be seen as underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, and Imran will play his rival Aslam.

The project will be directed by Milan Luthria, who is basking in the success of “The Dirty Picture”.

The prequel – “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai” – had Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi together on screen. Their mentor-turned-rival chemistry as Sultan Mirza and Shoaib, respectively, was appreciated.

Producers are hoping that the Akshay-Imran pairing works wonders for the sequel too. (Courtesy: filmi town)
