will neither have sleaze queen Mallika Sherawat nor smooch king Emraan Hashmi. Instead the sequel would feature

actress Jacqueline Fernandes.

Jacqueline Fernandes will step into Mallika's sexy shoes for

Murder 2

, a film based on the Nithari killings. Mukesh Bhatt told

Mumbai Mirror

, "The only criterion for the lead girl is that she has to be really sensuous."

The role was offered to a lot of actresses but they all turned it down.

Mahesh Bhatt tells the tabloid, "We have been meeting a lot of actresses including Bipasha Basu, Mallika Sherawat and Sonal Chauhan. I was keen to have Mallika but it didn't work out. Even with Bipasha there were some issues. Mohit Suri is a very hard to please director. He is not able to make up his mind about the heroine."
