According to sources, "Riteish wasn't keen on playing a gay character. It's a risk for any mainstream Bollywood actor to take on such a role. He politely refused, but he was disappointed that his one of his best friends, who had many films on the floors, had offered him an insignificant role."
However, as per Tarun, only John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan have been confirmed in the sequel's cast, and he hasn't yet approached anyone else for other roles.
