Jacqueline Fernandez is in talks to step into Sonakshi Sinha’s shoes in ‘Race 2’. Sonakshi begged off the film recently citing date issues. Says a source, “Everyone knows that Jackie is no longer doing ‘Krissh 2’, but few know that the reason she opted out was because she is set to sign ‘Race 2’, where she has a meatier role.
The role requires a young and glamorous girl for the action thriller, and the producers feel that after Sona, Jackie is the next best option. It’s a prestigious film for her and currently she is working out dates and money issues. Her boyfriend Sajid Khan apparently advised her to step out of ‘Krissh 2’ as he felt the role wasn’t good enough.” Jacqueline’s spokesperson says, “Yes, Jacqueline has been approached for ‘Race 2’. And we are working out the dates.” ‘Race 2’, directed by Abbas-Mastan, will go on the floors next year.
