PIX: Meet the Gorgeous Ladies in 2012's Movie Sequels

Movie sequels have become a fad.

And while the actors are usually repeated in the follow-ups, the sequels usually star a different female cast.

We take a look at the gorgeous women in some of the upcoming sequels this year.

Esha Gupta, Jannat 2

Jannat actress Sonal Chauhan has been replaced by another newcomer, Esha Gupta. Emraan Hashmi will reprise his role in the sequel.

Esha has signed a three-film contract with Mahesh Bhatt's Vishesh Films after Jannat 2. The other films featuring her will be Raaz 3 in 3D and Murder 3.

Almost 10 years after Bipasha Basu and John Abraham made Jism a hit comes its sequel, starring Sunny Leone and Dino Morea.

Sunny will also be seen in the sequel to Ekta Kapoor's horror hit, Ragini MMS.

Katrina Kaif will take off from Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Dostana and Dhoom 3 respectively.

Both films, interestingly, will star Abhishek Bachchan.

John Abraham will also reprise his role in Dostana 2, while Uday Chopra will be back in Dhoom 3. Aamir Khan will join the cast as villain in Dhoom 3.

After Dabangg, it looks like every director wants to work with Sonakshi Sinha.

The actress, who has as many as five releases this year, will also feature in the sequels of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai and of course, Dabangg.

Sunny Deol has roped in Bipasha in the sequel to the 1990 hit, Ghayal. Let's hope this film gives Bips the hit she badly needs.

Vidya Balan, who played a woman looking for revenge in Ishqiya, has been replaced by Madhuri Dixit in Dedh Ishqiya.

The film will also star Kangna Ranaut.

Kangna takes off from Priyanka in the Krrish sequel -- called Krrish 3 -- to play the role of a super-girl opposite superhero Hrithik Roshan.

Jacqueline may have lost out on Raaz 3 (she was the first choice) but she will be seen in Abbas-Mustan's Race 2, along with the original players Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor. John Abraham will also join the cast here.

Neha Sharma, who was last seen in a forgettable film called Crook: It's Good To Be Bad, will be seen in Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum.

Tusshar Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh will return in this sex comedy.

The other actress in Kyaa Kool Hain Hum will be Sarah Jane Dias, who was last seen in the flop, Game.

Let's hope she's sees success with her 2012 release.
