Suniel Shetty to join Sidharth Malhotra, Jacqueline Fernandez in Bang Bang prequel

Perhaps the last memorable role of 90s star Suniel Shetty is in Farah Khan’s Main Hoon Na where he plays the highly engaging antagonist Raghavan Datta. Since then, we’ve only seen Shetty in blink-and-you-miss roles in forgettable films.

Shetty will again be playing an ex-colonel who mentors a group of fresh recruits, reports Times of India. Sidharth is one such recruit. Shetty will be seen playing two ages; a middle-aged man and then seven years later, with a salt-and-pepper look as the film spans decades. Since Shetty will be seen in many action sequences, he is reportedly working out to fit the role. The entire unit will then travel to Malaysia in October to shoot the film. While Bang Bang was a remake of Hollywood film Knight and Day, starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, Reloaded is an original story written by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK (of Shor in the City and Go Goa Gone fame).
