Sonakshi is Dawood's love interest

Looks like the sequel of Ekta Kapoor’s production ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai’ will see a complete new set of stars then what it had in original. After Akshay Kumar took over the Emraan Hashmi’s character of Dawood in the sequel, it’s time for Sonakshi Sinha to play Mandakani, Dawood’s love interest in the film.

While it was assumed that the role would either be played by Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor or Deepika Padukone opposite Akki in the Milan Luthria’s film.

Confirming the news, a source said that both Ekta and Milan were keen to cast a leading lady to essay the role of Mandakani. But for now, they are considering Sonakshi Sinha for the role.

The fact that Akshay and Sonakshi are already working in two films together seems to have been working in the newbie’s favour. The duo will be seen together in Shirish Kunder’s ‘Joker’ and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Rowdy Rathod’. So, Ekta and Milan are also considering this fact while making their choice.

Though, apart from Akshay playing a role in the film, nothing has been confirmed yet. The team is still looking for a parallel hero to play the role opposite Akshay. So, once the male actors cast get finalized, Ekta and Milan wil take a call on who will play the leading ladies.

As for now, we have to wait to find out whether Sonakshi turns out to be Dawood’ lady love in the film.
