Actress Nayantara, who played the female lead in Billa, was expected to play a cameo in its prequel Billa 2, starring Ajith, but according to latest reports, the actress has rejected the role.
 
Notably, Nayantara shares a good rapport with Ajith and their earlier film Billa was a milestone in their careers. These factors seemed to prompted the actress to accept the cameo initially, but the reason behind her change of mind is unknown.
 
Billa 2, written and directed by Chakri Toleti, stars Parvathy Omanakuttan, Bruna Abdullah, Prabhu, Rahman and Krishnakumar in the cast. The shooting is almost complete. The film will be dubbed and released in Telugu as well.
