In a recent interview, producer Boney Kapoor officially announced the much-anticipated sequel, No Entry 2. Alongside this revelation came the announcement of the film’s cast, which includes Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, and Diljit Dosanjh. This news marks a departure from the original trio of Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, and Fardeen Khan.
The first installment of the franchise, directed by Anees Bazmee, was a box office hit, generating around Rs 95 crore and leaving fans eagerly anticipating a sequel. However, the decision to revamp the cast has reportedly left Anil Kapoor displeased.
In an interview with Zoom, Boney Kapoor disclosed that Anil Kapoor expressed his frustration with not being included in No Entry 2. Despite his desire to reprise his role, the filmmaker felt the need to refresh the cast to ensure the sequel’s relevance. This decision has strained relations between the brothers, with Anil Kapoor reportedly avoiding conversations with Boney Kapoor.
Explaining his casting choices, Boney Kapoor highlighted the camaraderie between Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor, as well as Diljit Dosanjh’s immense popularity among audiences. He emphasized the importance of making the film resonate with contemporary audiences.
While Anil Kapoor’s absence from the sequel is confirmed, it remains unclear whether Salman Khan will be part of the project. Despite this, anticipation for the film remains high, fueled by the potential chemistry between the new cast members.
With shooting expected to commence in December, Boney Kapoor assured fans that No Entry 2 would be a substantial production. As details continue to emerge, audiences eagerly await further updates on this highly anticipated sequel.
