Over the past week, No Entry 2 has become the subject of intense industry speculation, with rumours swirling around Diljit Dosanjh’s possible exit from the much-anticipated sequel. Whispers of creative differences between the actor and the production team had gained momentum. However, producer Boney Kapoor has now stepped in to clarify the situation, putting all rumours to rest.
Diljit’s Commitment in Question, But Not His Creativity
The sequel to the 2005 cult classic No Entry, tentatively titled No Entry Mein Entry, has been under pre-production for months, with Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, and Diljit Dosanjh cast in the lead roles. With Anees Bazmee returning as director, excitement around the film has been steadily building. However, industry insiders began speculating about Diljit walking away from the project due to “creative differences.”
Boney Kapoor addressed these reports and strongly denied any creative rift. In an official statement, he said:
“The rumours of creative differences between Diljit and us are completely baseless and false. Yes, there are some date issues, but we are actively working to resolve them. Our entire team, including Diljit, is excited about the film.”
The Real Reason: Scheduling Conflicts
Diljit Dosanjh, fresh off the success of Amar Singh Chamkila and his international music tours, has a packed schedule. According to sources close to the actor, he’s juggling multiple film and music commitments — both in India and abroad. The actor is also preparing for an extended North America tour in the second half of 2025, which clashes with the planned shoot of No Entry Mein Entry.
An industry insider shared:
“Diljit is very much interested in doing No Entry 2, but he’s committed to his World Tour between Aug and Oct, that were already in motion.”
No Entry Mein Entry: A High-Concept Comedy
No Entry Mein Entry is being designed as a larger-than-life comic caper, staying true to the tone of the original. This time, the makers are going even bigger, with Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, and Diljit Dosanjh playing double roles, alongside six leading ladies in pivotal parts.
The film is expected to start shooting in late 2025, with a theatrical release likely in mid-2026.
Final Word: No Entry, But No Exit Yet
As Boney Kapoor and his team work towards resolving the scheduling conflicts with Diljit Dosanjh, fans of the franchise and the actor are hoping for a positive outcome. Diljit’s presence is considered a significant asset to the film, and his potential exit has understandably caused concern among those eagerly awaiting the sequel.
