While we’ve all agreed that nothing can match the originality and brilliance of the first instalment, the Bollywood industry’s different works have surely demonstrated this. There have been numerous examples that support the notion that old is gold. However, the main reason for the sequels’ widespread dislike and failure can most likely be attributed to a change in cast.
With a new ensemble for the upcoming episodes, these were the periods that engendered hatred amongst the public even before the picture was released, becoming a key factor for sequels sinking. Fans were left heartbroken as a result of this. Let’s take a look at some of the moments when the film’s big cast changes drew a large crowd of fans:
Welcome Back – Akshay Kumar replaced by John Abraham
The uttermost brilliance of the first instalment of the Welcome series is unquestionably surpassed by the film’s second instalment. While we are all still drooling over the film’s varied phrases and amazing comic timings, the film’s lead combination of Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar became a tremendous success. Fans were profoundly devastated by the revelation that he will be replaced in the next episode of the film, despite the actor’s obvious genius and amazing comic timing. While we admire John Abraham’s acting, his replacement for Akshay Kumar in the sequel proved to be a significant disappointment for the audience.
