Rumours have been rife about Sidharth Malhotra passing the offer to star in Rowdy Rathore’s sequel, to be a cop for Rohit Shetty’s web series, Indian Police Force. Now, a source associated with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s production house shares, “Kiara Advani is doing a project with SLB Productions and consequently, Sid is also keen to collaborate with the renowned maker. But there is nothing on the cards,” says a source. He further explains, “Back in 2018, Akshay [Kumar] and Sanjay held a press conference together to announce that PadMan was vacating the Republic Day window to make way for Padmaavat. At the time, Akshay also said that he agreed to shift his film’s release [to February 9] as Sanjay promised to make Rowdy Rathore 2 with him. So, whenever the film happens, it will be made with Akshay only.”
