'Badlapur 2' won't have any female lead, says producer
Mumbai

Amid rumours that actress Deepika
Padukone might be part of "Badlapur 2", producer Dinesh Vijan says the
movie won't have a female lead.
"Sriram Raghavan ('Badlapur' director) takes two years to write a
script for his film. He took similar time for 'Badlapur' as well. He
has recently completed the script of 'Badlapur 2'. We give a lot of
time to writing in our process of filmmaking... The way we did for
'Hindi Medium' and 'Raabta' as well.
"As soon as 'Raabta' gets released, we will get into the casting of
'Badlapur 2' and for now I can assure that 'Badlapur' will not have any
female lead and as soon as casting of the film gets complete, we will
be giving details about it," Vijan said on the sidelines of the success
party of "Hindi Medium" here.
His other film "Raabta" is in legal trouble after "Magadheera" producer
Allu Arvind of Geetha Arts on Thursday sought injunction against the
release of the Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer over copyright infringement.
Commenting on that, Vijan said: "Reincarnation is a very successful
genre. There have been films like 'Karan Arjun', 'Madhumati' and 'Om
Shanti Om' in this genre.
"I am a huge fan of Rajamouli and all his films, including 'Baahubali',
so I would never copy him. There has been similarity only in genre and
that has been done in many films, but I would like to show my film to
them and assure them that there is no single scene from 'Magadheera'
that I have copied in 'Raabta'."
"Raabta" is slated to release in theatres on June 9.
