Kiara Advani is on a roll! After tasting huge success with Kabir Singh and Good Newwz in 2019, the actress is set to have back-to-back releases in 2020. While she is currently busy shooting for her forthcoming projects, her name has just been linked to director Mohit Suri’s upcoming directorial offering Ek Villain 2.

Industry sources inform an entertainment portal that Suri has approached Kiara Advani for the female lead. However, there has been no confirmation on the same.
