Amitabh Bachchan to replace Feroz Khan in the sequel to Welcome, according to our reports!
Anees Bazmee has confirmed that Welcome Back sequel to the 2007 comedy flick Welcome would star Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor in the same roles that they played in the first installment of the film. There were reports suggesting that John Abraham has been chosen to replace Akshay Kumar
in the film. But those reports have been rubbished.
Anees says that, ”John Abraham is playing the lead in Welcome Back. He joins Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor who were part of the Welcome cast. But John is not stepping into Akshay Kumar’s role, as reported. We’ve eliminated Akshay’s part and created a new hero’s role. So John’s role is completely new. As for Nana and Anil, they’ll reprise the roles of Uday and Majnu.”
Producer Feroz Nadiadwala’s punctured relationship with Akshay Kumar has put Anees in a dilemma as he shares a good rapport with Akshay Kumar. At first, the plan was to bring in John Abraham in place of Akshay. But as Anees felt that Akshay would not be happy with the same, the role was completely scrapped and an entirely new hero’s script was written to settle in John.
