Fans hoping for Akshay Kumar’s return as the slap-happy, high-octane Rowdy Rathore will have to keep waiting. Despite swirling buzz about a sequel to the 2012 blockbuster, industry insiders confirm there’s no movement on the project. While the original cemented its legacy as a mass entertainer, the sequel remains in limbo with no script, production updates, or greenlights in sight. Akshay, meanwhile, is keeping busy with Housefull 5, Welcome to the Jungle, and Sky Force, slated for Republic Day. He’s also gearing up for Priyadarshan’s horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla. So, Rowdy fans, patience might just be your mantra for now.
