The movie is sequel to the 2014 hit film, Ek Villain, which starred Sidharth Malhotra, Shraddha Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh. While the first film of the franchise was about a conflict between hero and a villain, Ek Villain Returns will follow a story of two villains, with John Abraham and Arjun Kapoor essaying negative roles. Tara Sutaria and Disha Patani play the female leads in the upcoming thriller.

Speaking about Ek Villain Returns, Mohit Suri said, “Ek Villain Returns is my dream project. It has been an incredible journey since day one and all of us had a great time. I had the best time working the entire cast, and the same has been reflected on screen.”

The movie marks John Abraham’s first collaboration with the director. Arjun Kapoor and Disha Patani have previously worked with Mohit on Half Girlfriend and Malang.

Ek Villain Returns is jointly produced by T-Series and Balaji Telefilms and will now clash at the box office with Sidharth Malhotra and Rakul Preet Singh-starrer Thank God.
