Big B has already been approached to play the role of RDX-- a don played by the late actor Feroz Khan in the first part, while Rekha has been offered to play the role of a wealthy fashionista. "We are considering Rekhaji for a role which will have love angle between Nana and Anil. But it is too early to talk about all this as nothing is decided and confirmed. As there are three-four veteran actresses that we are thinking of it all depends if they like it or not, their dates and money issues," Bazmee said.
Bazmee has not yet met Rekha or narrated the part to her. "I am a huge fan of Rekhaji. I wanted to work with her. I feel since it's a comedy film, Rekhaji will do justice to her part as she has a superb comic timing," he said.
