In a surprising turn, singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has stepped away from Anees Bazmee’s much-awaited comedy sequel No Entry 2. Producer Boney Kapoor confirmed the development, stating that the exit was amicable and caused purely by scheduling conflicts, not creative differences.
Dosanjh, who was earlier announced as one of the leads alongside Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor, could not accommodate the film’s shoot due to his international Aura Tour commitments across Australia and New Zealand.
Exit Confirmed, Future Collaboration Possible
Kapoor stressed that there was no fallout between the team and Dosanjh. “We have parted ways in good spirits,” he said, adding that the production house is already in talks with the actor for a Punjabi-language film in the near future.
From Rumors to Reality
Earlier this year, speculation was rife about Dosanjh’s possible exit, with reports hinting at creative disagreements. However, Kapoor dismissed such talk, attributing the issue solely to conflicting dates. Interestingly, Dosanjh himself had fueled hope among fans by posting a behind-the-scenes vlog in July featuring both Kapoor and Bazmee, where he appeared enthusiastic about the project.
New Casting Challenges
With Dosanjh’s exit, the makers now face the challenge of finalizing a replacement before filming begins in October 2025. While fans of the original No Entry continue to miss the iconic trio of Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan, the sequel is expected to showcase a new-age comedy lineup led by Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor.
The production team is confident that the film, despite setbacks, will live up to the expectations of audiences who have waited nearly two decades for the sequel.
