Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh were supposed to come together for the shoot of Anees Bazmee’s highly anticipated film No Entry 2 in March this year. However, a sudden change in the film’s shooting schedule has left it in limbo. Soon after, rumours began swirling about Diljit quitting the film due to creative differences with the makers. Now, in a recent interaction, Anees has cleared the air, insisting that Diljit’s exit was due to a scheduling conflict and not creative differences.
The filmmaker spoke to India Today and shared that he had only met Diljit for a brief meeting twice. The director revealed that during one of the 10-minute-long meetings, he narrated the film’s script to him and the singer-actor readily agreed to do the film. “He was actually quite eager to be a part of it,” Anees told the publication.
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.
