Delhi Belly sequel titled Disco Fighter
MUMBAI: Aamir Khan‘s Disco Fighter avatar that one saw in the last fewminutes of his latest film Delhi Belly in an item number, is soon going to become a complete character in his next home production.
And what‘s more, Aamir will be the fourth hero of this venture. He will play the lead in the film titled Disco Fighter that will be written and directed by Kiran Rao. Khan will share the frame with Imran Khan, Vir Das and Kunaal Roy Kapoor in the sequel.
It is said that Khan had envisaged a sequel when Delhi Belly was in the post-production phase. Khan was always of the opinion that if the film works well, a sequel should definitely be made. The level of success that the controversial film has achieved since it released is said to have prompted a second instalment. However, since he is busy with Dhoom 3, Khan asked his wife to take over the reigns.
The largely English language comedy has had the second biggest opening of the year after Salman Khan‘s Ready.
