'I am not in the race'

Actor Kriti Sanon has brushed aside rumours of starring with Tiger Shroff in ‘Baaghi 2’ and said that she has not been approached for the film yet.

Tiger and Shraddha Kapoor-starrer ‘Baaghi’ is gearing up for a sequel. The 27-year-old actor will reprise his role as Ronnie in the sequel.

It was recently reported that Kriti and Disha Patani were the top contenders for the second instalment of the action-romance film.

Asked about ‘Baaghi 2’, Kriti said, “I am not in the race. I have not been approached so I don’t know anything about it. I would love to work with Tiger again as I did my first film with him. We share a special bond. But I have not been approached for the film yet.”

Tiger and Kriti worked together in the romantic action film ‘Heropanti’.

Earlier this month, Tiger unveiled the first poster of ‘Baaghi 2’, that will hit screens on April 27, 2018.

While the first film of the franchise was directed by Sabbir Khan, choreographer-filmmaker Ahmed Khan has been roped in to helm the sequel.

Kriti was talking on the sidelines of a promotional event for her upcoming film ‘Raabta’.

“It’s going good (referring to the promotions of the film). It’s just nine days left now for the film to release. We are trying to reach out to as many people as we can and make them aware about the film,” the 26-year-old actor said.

Also starring Sushant Singh Rajput, Rajkummar Rao and Deepika Padukone in cameo appearances, ‘Raabta’ marks the directorial debut of producer Dinesh Vijan.

The romantic thriller releases on June 9.
