Sidharth Malhotra declines Rowdy Rathore sequel offer, per report. Producers approached him to play the role of a rowdy cop

Sidharth Malhotra

Uh oh! Rumours are rife that Sidharth Malhotra has politely declined to lead the Rowdy Rathore sequel. mid-day had reported that Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Shabinaa Khan, the producers of Akshay Kumar’s 2012 hit, had approached the Mission Majnu actor to play the rowdy cop in the second instalment. Sources claim that Sid, who plays a police officer in Rohit Shetty’s maiden web series, Indian Police Force, decided to don the khaki uniform only for the director. Moreover, the actor didn’t want to jeopardise his chances of being a part of Rohit’s cop universe if the filmmaker finds him suitable for a role in his big-screen entertainers. So he courteously declined SLB and Shabinaa’s offer of playing the rowdy protagonist.
