A weird role reversal seems to be happening n Bollywood. While Akshay Kumar has replaced Arshad Warsi in Jolly LLB 2, Arshad has bagged Akshay’s role in Aankhen 2. The actors who made Aankhen a hit were Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal and Paresh Rawal. While Big B and Arjun Rampal have been retained, Arshad Warsi and Anil Kapoor are the new additions to the sequel project.

Reporters couldn’t help but ask Arshad about swapping roles with Akshay, and this is what he had to say...

I was supposed to do<i> Jolly LLB 2</i>, but Fox Star Studios needed a bigger star, so they chose Akshay. It makes it easier for marketing, it makes it easier to have a hit. With me, you (the filmmakers) have to make a good film, so that is the problem. You can make money with me only if it’s a very good film.
