------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Murmurs are making the rounds that Sonakshi Sinha, the ‘junior shotgun’ who literally shot to fame with the super successful ‘Dabanng’, is all set to play the role of Dawood’s love interest in the sequel of ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai’. This is the second change made by Ekta Kapoor and Milan Luthria to the star cast of ‘Once Upon..” after they replaced Emran Hashmi with Akshay Kumar to essay the role of Dawood in the sequel of the 2010 hit.

According to sources, the makers of the film initially wanted a more established face to play Mandakini, names as big as Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were in the race. However, now even Sonakshi is being considered for the role. It seems the decision makers are considering the fact that Akshay and Sonakshi are already working together on two more projects and reportedly share a good rapport with each other.

However, nothing has been finalized yet. Even though Akshhay is sure to play the lead role, the hunt is still on for the second lead. As soon as that is finalized, Ekta and Milan will make a final decision on the leading lady of the film. Let us see if Sonakshi gets to share screen space with Khiladi Kumar.
