Do you remember the Ram Teri Ganga Maili girl, Mandakini? No one can forget her getting wet in a white saari, a la Raj Kapoor!
We hear that the southern sexy siren Ileana has been roped in to enact the role of yesteryear's Bollywood diva Mandakani in the sequel to Once Upon a Time In Mumbai.
Even before her much talked about film Barfee opposite Ranbir Kapoor will hit the theatres, Ileana is already making waves with this news.
The sequel will see Akshay Kumar in the role of dreaded underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
To be produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and directed by Milan Luthria, Mandakani role rolled between Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif before eventually going to Ileana D'Souza.
Mandakini was famous for her bathe scene in Ram Tere Ganga Maili under a waterfall wearing only a transparent white half Saree, and more importantly her alleged affair with Dawood Ibrahim.
Sources figure out that 'Ileana's slender figure was the reason that made Balaji to think of her. Though an official conformation is awaited, more or less she will be a part of this ambitious project of Ekta Kapoor'.
