In an interaction with NDTV, Kapoor confirmed that the Good Newwz actor is not a part of 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.” Reports suggest that Diljit`s packed schedule, particularly his Aura Tour across Australia and New Zealand from October 26 to November 13, clashed with the film`s shoot. Currently, he is balancing back-to-back projects with his international tours.
Boney on not retaining OG cast
Previously, Boney Kapoor spoke about the film’s casting and not being able to retain Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan for the sequel. “Yeh humara loss hai that we could not retain the same star cast. We waited for almost 8 to 10 years, but somehow things didn’t materialise. We will miss them. Now, we’re trying to give it a fresh start with a younger lot of actors. But yes, we will miss Salman, Anil, and Fardeen. They were the original three boys in `No Entry`, and they were most loved.”
Praising the original trio, he said, “Salman is a fantastic guy, Anil is a fantastic guy, brother and actor. Fardeen is one of the best people I’ve known in the industry. I will miss them. But somehow, we’ve moved on, and let’s hope the decision proves right.”
