Akshay Oberoi ecstatic to work with Randeep Hooda in Laal Rang 2

Akshay Oberoi (Gurgaon, Kaalakandi, Fitoor, Piku) is set to reunite with his Laal Rang co-star Randeep Hooda in the film’s sequel Laal Rang 2: Khoon Chusva announced recently. In the 2016 film, Akshay was seen playing Rajesh, who was partner in crime of Shankar, played by Randeep Hooda. The film, set in Haryana, revolved around the illegal blood trade business.

Apart from Randeep and Akshay, Pia Bajpiee will also reprise her role. The film is directed by Syed Ahmed Afzal, who also helmed the original.

Talking about being part of the sequel, Akshay said, “The movie dealt with the illegal blood trade business. Even though it is a serious issue, the makers tried to give it a humorous angle. The first part was well received and I am ecstatic that we are back with the second part, which is coming after seven years. I can promise this time it’s going to be more interesting and intriguing than the first part.”

Apart from this, Akshay will be seen in Fighter, where he will play an Air Force pilot. He will be sharing screen space with Hrithik and Deepika in the film. Fighter is slated to release on January 25 next year.
