New Delhi, March 20: The first installment of the Producer Firoz Nadiadwala's ‘Welcome' was a hit in 2007 but we have a see that will the history be repeated when its second installment won't have its leading actor Akshay Kumar in it.
Its reported that Nadiadwala's favourite Akshay Kumar will be replaced by John Abraham in ‘Welcome 2' as Akki seems very busy with the other projects. The Director waited for him for a long time to join in the successful franchisee of Hera Pheri but Khiladi Kumar didn't returned and even missed his role in ‘Welcome 2'.
However, Nadiadwala claims that Akki is like a brother to him but since they are not able to come to an agreement, he can't wait for his work to start.
Finally, it will be John Abraham opposite Katrina Kaif in Welcome2.
The 2007 ‘Welcome' had Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, Mallika Sherawat, Nana Patekar, Paresh Rawal and late Firoz Khan in the pivotal roles. The second installment will go on floors by the end of this year.
