No recent news about Randeep Hooda’s character in Sajid Nadiadwala’s ‘Kick’!

Usually, when there is no recent update over a movie or a project in Bollywood for a long time, then one should consider it to be already shelved. Similarly, off late we have not been hearing or reading anything about actor Randeep Hooda’s character in the Sajid Nadiadwala film Kick. Being the producer’s directorial debut and a remake of a Telugu movie, which is close to Sajid’s heart, he has been putting much effort in its making. The film is said to feature actors Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez in the lead. Earlier, the cast also included the name of the suave actor Randeep Hooda, who will be seen in the producer and Imtiaz Ali’s Highway next year.

However, he has not been in the news currently for his role in Kick. Initially also, when the cast was finalized, nothing except for Randeep being a part of this film was ever revealed about him. Also, Sajid Nadiadwala has recently signed in the versatile and very hardworking actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui for Kick. He wanted an actor, who is well skilled and strong at performing dramatic roles. Nawaz’s character in the movie has been kept under wraps yet, but we hear that he is playing a significant role. The Gangs of Wasseypur actor read the script and fell in love with his character. Does Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s entry in Kick mean Randeep Hooda’s exit? This has not been clearly reveled until now by the production house.

Nevertheless, Nawazuddin Siddiqui for the first time has come together with Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala to do a big budget film as a vital character. He has received much appreciation in the past for his acting talent in movies like Talaash and The Lunchbox, where he played extremely diverse roles. With Kick Nawaz is entering the mainstream commercial cinema for the first time and is immensely happy about it!
