There are many films made in Bollywood where the main lead of a film is replaced in its sequel. While sometimes this does wonders for the film and drums up more business, other times the makers of the film fall flat on their faces. Today, we will tell you about one such film where the lead actor of the film was replaced in the film's sequel and the role went to a Bollywood superstar. This move by the makers turned out to be a huge mistake as, despite the star power, the film failed to perform at the box office and was declared a flop.
The film we are talking about today is 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara!' which is a sequel to 2010's superhit film 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai'.
'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara!' was released in 2013. It was directed by Milan Luthria and produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor. Akshay Kumar, Imran Khan, and Sonakshi Sinha played the lead role in the film while Sonali Bendre made a cameo appearance.
