Baaghi 2: Shraddha Kapoor to be replaced by Kriti Sanon or Jacqueline Fernandez in Tiger Shroff film

While Tiger Shroff and Sabbir Khan are busy with the pre-production work of Munna Michael, the work for Baaghi 2 is also in progress.

The first film, Baaghi, starred Shraddha Kapoor and Tiger Shroff in lead roles and the sequel to it this was announced a month back. However, while reports suggested that Shraddha will be cast alongside Tiger in the sequel too, the latest update is that Jacqueline Fernandez and Kriti Sanon are in talks with producer Sajid Nadiadwala for the female lead role in Baaghi 2.

As reported by a leading daily, both the actresses are fond of Sajid Nadiadwala and enjoy working in his productions. While Jacqueline has worked with Nadiadwala Grandsons in Kick and Housefull 3, Kriti's launchpad -- Heropanti was produced by the same banner. The report also reveals that Baaghi 2 will be directed by choreographer Ahmed Khan and not Sabbir Khan.

Sabbir is busy with Munna Michael and has found a perfect mentor in Ahmed Khan for Tiger Shroff as the two get along well with both sharing a common dance background. The report says:

"Ahmed is a fabulous choreographer and Tiger, a fantastic dancer. Their combination will be really good."
