Addressing the swirling rumors, Ghai emphasized that there are no plans to replace Sanjay Dutt in the pivotal role of Ballu Balram in “Khalnayak 2.” In an exclusive statement to ETimes, Ghai clarified, “The truth is I am not looking for actors to play Ballu Balram but a younger actor to play a new character in ‘Khalnayak 2’ who will be pitted against BALLU Balram who is 55 years old man now.
