Khiladi 2 needs younger actor and Akshay Kumar does not fit the bill says Ratan Jain says, the director of the movie.

Brother Ganesh Jain had, twenty-one years ago flagged off the Khiladi franchise that put Akshay Kumar on the road to stardom and now Ratan Jain is ready to start Khiladi 2. The film will be directed by Abbas-Mustan who had helmed the '92 film as well. In the interim there have been six Khiladi films, including Main Khiladi Tu Anari in '94 produced by another Jain brother, Champak.

But the rest of the films in the franchise-Sabse Bada Khiladi ('95), Khiladiyon Ka Khildai ('96), Mr & Mrs Khialdi ('97), International Khiladi ('99), Khiladi 420 (2000) and Khiladi 786 (2012)-were not produced by the Jains.


"Anyone could borrow the title Khiladi, add a couple of words to it, get the title cleared and come up with a Khiladi film. We didn't object to them, but we had nothing to do with those films," says Ratan who has just locked the script of Khiladi 2.

"We will now start on the casting, and the pre-production will take another six months. The film should roll sometime next year," he says.
