Kareena Kapoor, who was roped in to play the lead in 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Part 2', has apparently opted out of the movie.

The sequel is being produced by Ekta Kapoor and directed by Milan Luthria.

Sources reveal that Kareena decided to drop out of the project due to the 'uncertainties' surrounding the movie. The details of the movie were hazy leading her to take this decision.

It was also speculated earlier that the presence of the actress' ex, Shahid Kapoor, in the movie led to her to leave the project.

Director Milan Luthria is one busy man these days. Apart from his new film The Dirty Picture, he is also focusing on his upcoming movie, the sequel of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. The sequel will have Akshay Kumar essaying the lead role.

In the sequel, Akshay will play a romantic Dawood Ibrahim. Milan Luthria tells, “The latter promises a different take on the underworld. Unlike the original, it’ll show the romantic side of underworld in a big way.”

Any guess on who would be playing Akki’s lady love in the movie? Well, if buzz is to be believed, Milan and producer Ekta Kapoor might just rope in Kareena Kapoor. It seems that, Kareena has even read the script.

The director stresses on the fact that the movie sequel will see less of violence and more of love and romance. It would be a happy and entertaining movie.
