No Entry 2 Features a New Ensemble Cast
Anees Bazmee has embarked on the preparations for the much-anticipated sequel to the cult classic, No Entry. The original film, which starred Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan, garnered a significant fan base and remains a favorite among audiences. The sequel, No Entry 2, is set to feature Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Arjun Kapoor in leading roles, raising excitement among fans and industry insiders alike.
Bazmee shared updates from his location in Greece on social media, emphasizing the creative process alongside producer Boney Kapoor and director of photography Manu Anand. His post, captioned with hints of the comedic adventures to come, highlighted the collaborative spirit behind the project. While fans expressed their nostalgia for the original cast, many are optimistic about the new talent taking center stage.
In comments reacting to the changes, fans have varied opinions; some lament the absence of Salman Khan, expressing that without him, they feel the sequel may not match the original’s charm. Others have voiced their love for other films produced by the team and expressed hope for future projects alongside No Entry 2.
Observing the ongoing preparations through Bazmee’s posts provides a glimpse into the early stages of what promises to be a high-energy film.
In a recent interview with News18 Showsha, producer Boney Kapoor addressed the shift in cast for No Entry 2 and shared insights into the film’s production timeline. According to Kapoor, filming is slated to commence in June 2025, with aspirations to meet a Diwali release date of October 26, 2025. His confidence in the sequel’s potential reflects a belief that it exceeds the original in narrative depth and entertainment value.
Kapoor indicated that while maintaining the same star cast wasn’t feasible due to various individual commitments, the new narrative promises to resonate deeply with audiences. “This film has a lot of potential, and those who know the storyline believe it’s an improvement over the first No Entry. We’ve managed to package it in a fresh way,” he explained.
Despite the optimistic outlook, tensions reportedly exist within the Kapoor family; Anil Kapoor’s dissatisfaction with the casting decisions for No Entry 2 hints at underlying dynamics that may affect the film’s promotional activities.
As the preparations unfold in Greece, anticipation builds not just for the film’s plot, but also for how it will bridge the legacy of the original with new storytelling methods and fresh talent.
