Ek Villain Returns
Mohit Suri is back with Ek Villain Returns, eight years after its prequel. More killer and deadlier than its predecessor, this one has a brand new cast of John Abraham, Disha Patani, Arjun Kapoor, and Tara Sutaria. The trailer opens by taking us back to 2014, when Rakesh, played by Riteish Deshmukh, was going around killing women in order to feel powerful.
