TV and film producer Ekta Kapoor, on Thursday, took to her social media handle and shared a BTS picture from the sets of Ek Villain 2. The picture featured lead actors, John Abraham and Disha Patani, along with the director, Mohit Suri, and a few crew members. The photo was clicked, presumably, when Ekta Kapoor's father and veteran actor Jeetendra Kapoor recently visited the sets of Ek Villain 2. Everyone in the photo can be seen sporting a black hoodie with their name written on the left side along with a smile. Instagramming the photo, Kapoor wrote a short caption dedicated to her father, which read, "The coolest Villains with my hero".

As a section of Instagram users went gaga over the picture while a couple of users started speculating if Jeetendra is also playing any pivotal role in the upcoming film. Meanwhile, an Instagram user praised Jeetendra and wrote, "He’s the same young man in my eyes, whom we saw in his films of 80s. I can see him only in lead roles"; another fan added, "Dynamic Jeetuji fades them all in one go even at this age".
