Akshay Kumar had one of the most acclaimed performances of his career in Baby, and the critical and commercial success of the film was influential in the star’s current choice of films and his phenomenal box-office run. The actor however, won’t be starring in a full-fledged role in the second installment in Neeraj Pandey’s Baby franchise.
Taapsee Pannu, who had an acclaimed cameo in the prequel, will be seen reprising her role as the protagonist in the film, titled Naam Shabana. The film, which reportedly also stars Manoj Bajpayee and Prithviraj Sukumaran will however, feature Akshay Kumar in a cameo.
The star himself confirmed the news, by tweeting a picture from the sets of the film, in Malaysia. “In order!! The MasterMind, The Hero and the Cameo... Team #NaamShabana workin it on the streets of #KualaLumpur,” (sic) the star wrote.
Taapsee, who’s fresh from the phenomenal success of her recent release Pink, is quite excited about the film, and said that Akshay’s cameo was pretty much half the battle won for her.
“Feels like I’ve already won a huge battle! #NaamShabana,” she tweeted.
Naam Shabana, which will be helmed by Shivam Nair, is slated for a 2017 release.
