Diljit Dosanjh is no longer a part of No Entry 2, confirms Boney Kapoor; Here's why actor-singer steps away from Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor's film

Anees Bazmee is all set to direct the sequel to his 2005 film, No Entry. No Entry 2 is one of the most awaited films, and over the past few months, significant progress has been made in finalizing the lead male actors. It was earlier reported that Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Arjun Kapoor will share the screen space in the sequel, but now Boney Kapoor confirmed that Diljit has stepped away from the project.

Speaking to NDTV, Boney Kapoor has confirmed that Diljit Dosanjh has stepped away from No Entry 2. He said, "Yes, we have parted in good spirits as the dates were not aligning with our requirements, hopefully, we will soon do a Punjabi film together."

Their dates could not match due to Diljit's packed schedule, particularly his Aura Tour across Australia and New Zealand from October 26 to November 13, which clashed with the film's shoot. However, No Entry 2 remained Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor as two of the main leads.

Earlier, during an event, Boney Kapoor admitted that not being able to bring back the original trio (Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan) remains a sore point. He said that it is their loss that they could not retain the same star cast. They waited for almost 8 to 10 years, but somehow things didn't happen. 

"We will miss them. And now we are trying to give a fresh start with a younger lot of actors. But at the same time, we will miss Salman, we will miss Anil and Fardeen. They were the original three boys in No Entry. And they were most loved," he shared.
