Anees Bazmee breaks silence on Diljit Dosanjh’s exit from No Entry 2, denies creative difference: ‘There was an issue…’

However, when quizzed about Diljit Dosanjh’s exit from No Entry 2, Anees Bazmee clarified that it was due to date issues. He said, “He did want to do the film, but when I met him recently, we realised there was an issue with the dates. No Entry 2 is going to be a very big film with a huge cast and crew. There are so many actors, and it’s important for us that everyone can come together.”

Anees, however, remains hopeful that the makers will sort out the date issues and that Diljit might still star in the film. He shared, “I think they are figuring out the dates, and I am hopeful it will work out. But whatever happens, it will be for the good. I have that faith for sure.”

Like the original film No Entry, No Entry 2 is also bankrolled by Boney Kapoor. During the conversation, Anees Bazmee assured that the film’s shooting will begin soon. Lauding Boney Kapoor and speaking about their long-standing partnership, he said, “I have been with Boney ji (producer Boney Kapoor) for 7-8 years now, working on this film. We have seen many ups and downs, but we are on it. I am the kind of person who sticks to his commitment. And when there’s love, you don’t think of loss and profit. You just want to be together and make a good film. And trust me, it is going to be a beautiful film and a lot of fun. It’s still on paper, so many will not know, but I can assure you it’s an amazing story.”

No Entry 2 is the sequel to the 2005 hit film No Entry, which starred Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, and Fardeen Khan in lead roles. While speculations were rife that the makers might repeat the same cast in the sequel, those rumours were quashed with the announcement of a new cast. Boney Kapoor had also admitted that his brother and actor Anil Kapoor was upset with him for not casting him in the sequel.
