Akshay Found a New Partner in Sonam

It’s a sequel of 2006’s romantic comedy Pyaar Ke Side Effects, in which Akshay Kumar and Sonam Kapoor will replace Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat.

The film was a much loved film of 2006, in which Rahul Bose played a commitment phobic boy, however his girlfriend Mallika Sherawat all wanted is to get married and have babies. Now the director of the film Saket Chaudhary who was planning for its sequel from some time is finally ready with the script for the sequel. However this time Akshay will play the role of Siddharth Bose, the man can’t imagine settling down with one woman. Producer Pritish Nandy believes that Akshay is the right and only choice for the role.

“When we planned the sequel, Akshay Kumar was the first and only choice. He has that roguish charm which can take Sid’s role further, not only through one sequel but also a couple of others,” said Nandy.

However the latest sensation of Bollywood Akshay says, “The script is funny and interesting. Saket is a talented director and I am always looking for fresh talented directors to work with.”

Movie still from Pyaar Ke Side Effects



Here is a little disappointment for fans which were willing to see Akshay and Mallika Sherawat together, because Mallika refused to act in the sequel. Now the producer is eyeing for Sonam Kapoor to cast opposite Akshay. Before PKSE 2, Akshay and Sonam were supposed to act together in Rohit Dhavan’s (son of David Dhawan) directorial debut, but that film for a moment is stopped for some alteration.

The producer confirmed this and said, “Yes, we want Sonam with Akshay in PKSE 2. As soon as Akshay’s dates are in place, we’ll approach her. Akshay is as imperative to the project as RD Burman’s music was to Jhankaar Beats.”
