Jacqueline to get cozy with John Abraham, refuses to lock lips with Hrithik

She refused to lock lips with Hrithik Roshan. But when it came to John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez couldn't refuse. 

The actress who lost out on Krrish 3 since she refused to kiss the superhero, will now be seen getting cozy with John in Abbas-Mustan's Race 2. 

A source close to the film informed that "Jacqueline will be playing John Abraham's love interest in Abbas-Mustan's Race 2. She is going to shoot for an intimate lip-lock scene with John soon." 

While Jacqueline's decision to kiss John comes as a surprise at the wake of her refusal to lock lips with Hrithik, the buzz is that her fiance, filmmaker Sajid Khan might have influenced her decision this time around. Sajid, who had apparently asked her to refrain from doing steamy scenes earlier is good friends with John, and thus did not have any problems with his girl getting cozy with the actor. 

The next schedule of the film begins on January 14th. According to sources, this schedule also includes a steamy scene between the other lead pair Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone.
