Prateik Babbar , who made his acting debut with the successful film Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na in 2008, has been roped in to play an important role in producer Sajid Nadiadwala ’s Baaghi 2 . Baaghi 2 is a sequel to Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor's hit film Baaghi which came out in 2016. Tiger Shroff will play the male lead in this film also, but for the female part, the makers have signed Disha Patani who is rumored to be Tiger's girlfriend.

After Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, Prateik has appeared in a number of films like Dun Maaro Dum, Dhobi Ghat, Ekk Deewana Tha, Aarakshan, My Friend Pinto and Umrika, but none of these films could help him gain his footing in Bollywood. Hope his villainous avatar in Baaghi 2 helps him resurrect his career in films.

A source revealed to a leading tabloid, "It is an important role and Prateik suits the character perfectly. He was signed recently and is extremely excited because Tiger is a childhood friend and this is the first time they will be sharing screen space together.”

Baaghi 2 is being helmed by Ahmed Khan and has Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani as the lead pair.
