Mohit Suri's Malang that starred Anil Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani, and Kunal Kemmu, was a different kind of a thriller, with each character possessing his/her own intentions, driven by revenge and hunger for power. The last scene left the door ajar for a sequel, and it has now been confirmed by the makers that Malang 2 is indeed being planned.

As far as the leading lady is concerned, Pinkvilla reports that it's Shraddha Kapoor that will be seen in the sequel. This would be her third film with Suri after Aashiqui 2 and Half Girlfriend. Talking about it, a source was quoted saying to the portal, "Mohit had also spoken to Shraddha for Malang but her dates back then couldn't be managed. Then, he went on for a completely fresh pairing with Disha and Aditya. Given their equation, when Mohit asked her to just step in for the little voiceover in the end, she immediately agreed."
