Disha Patani has been keeping very busy all through the lockdown and is in no mood to slow down any time soon. The actress, who was shooting for ‘Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai’ with Salman Khan, has now begun prep for her next – ‘Ek Villian 2’.

A source close to the actress revealed, “Disha has been taking a lot of workshops and is immersing herself into prep for the film. She also has been doing a ton of reading sessions to stay on top of her game. She will start shooting for the project soon.”

The actress has even been attending online narrations and turned the lockdown into a productive period for herself.

For ‘Ek Villian 2’, Disha will be reuniting with ‘Malang’ director, Mohit Suri. The movie, which also featured Aditya Roy Kapur, was a box office hit, and one of the highest-grossing films of 2020 before the lockdown came into place.

The sequel to the 2014 film will star Arjun Kapoor, John Abraham, Disha Patani and Tara Sutaria in lead roles. The project was initially set to go on floors in 2020, but was delayed owing to the pandemic-induced lockdown.

Ekta Kapoor, Bhushan Kumar and Shobha Kapoor will be producing the new film. In the same interview with PTI, Suri talked about the script of the sequel and said, “The script, as Ekta Kapoor would say, is a banger. It was her biggest hit that time, it did ₹ 100 crore at that time. So we took time to write the script. I wrote one draft but wasn’t happy with some parts of it. Then I wrote another draft and she said it was insane.”
