Apparently it was Shruti's impressive performance in her recent releases that landed her a role in Anees Bazmee's upcoming sequel

The makers of Welcome had announced its sequel a long time ago but work's still to begin on the film.

While the casting is still going on for it, we hear that Asin is no longer a part of the project. Instead, Shruti Haasan has been roped in in her place. According to sources, Shruti will play the lead opposite John Abraham.


Says a source, `Earlier Sonakshi Sinha was finalised for the film however her dates were clashing with Prabhu Deva's next with Ajay Devgn. Bazmee then roped in Asin.` But apparently the makers got keen to approach Shruti after watching her recent releases D-Day and Ramaiya Vastavaiya.

Confirms director Anees Bazmee, `Yes, it is true. We were talking to a lot of actresses including Asin. Shruti fits the bill better. We are still looking for an ideal replacement for Firoz Khan's role.`
