Ever since Mohit Suri announced the sequel to his blockbuster Malang, reports regarding the fresh cast have been doing the rounds constantly. While the director and the team behind the Malang 2 are yet to confirm the actors, an entertainment portal quoted a source close to the development who stated that Sidharth Malhotra is being considered with Shraddha Kapoor for the lead. Fans of the actors were naturally delighted to hear that they will be uniting after Ek Villain, but dismissing it as false, Mohit gave a hilarious response on reading the report.
Mohit, on Twitter, reacted to the report by commenting, 'Huh ?'. Soon, the writer of Malang, Aseem Arora teased the filmmaker by writing, "Who feeds these news scoops about you? Inside job". Mohit replied by saying, "Inside sources !! In offices !! During covid !! Interesting na"

According to the report, the source told that Sidharth is the top contender for the role. "Sidharth is on top of their list. They are waiting for the lockdown to get over to pitch it to him. Mohit has just finished the script and since he has a good relationship with Sid, he will take it forward from here," the source stated. Mohit, Sidharth and Shraddha formerly collaborated for Ek Villain in 2014.
Malang featured Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani, Anil Kapoor and Kunal Kemmu in the lead. The film released on February 7 this year.
