A source told DNA, “A sequel to Badlapur, with a female protagonist and a completely new cast, is being planned. Dinesh has bounced the idea off to Deepika and she has loved it. It’s a character-driven role, just like Varun’s was in Badlapur. The script isn’t ready yet and once that’s done, the producer will give the actress a full narration and get her dates blocked for the film.”

Dinesh will be working with Deepika for the fifth time after Cocktail, Love Aaj Kal and Finding Fanny. His upcoming film Raabta features Kriti Sanon as the leading, but has a cameo of his favourite star Deepika in the movie’s title track.

As of now, Deepika is the first and only choice and given their long-term association, it’s most likely going to work out. Deepika wraps up filming and promotion for Padmavati by November and begins shoot for her untitled Honey Trehan film where she plays feared mafia don Sapnadidi.
