Mumbai: Amid reports that Diljit Dosanjh walked out of ‘No Entry 2’ due to creative differences, filmmaker Boney Kapoor has now revealed the real reason behind his exit.
Confirming Diljit’s exit from the film, Boney told NDTV that there were issues with dates and thus, the actor had to be dropped from the film. “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,” Boney was quoted as saying by NDTV.
Diljit currently announced that his Aura Tour 2025 will begin on October 26 in Sydney and will conclude on November 13 in Auckland.
Earlier at an event, Boney admitted that not having Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan in the ‘No Entry’ sequel was a loss for him.
“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 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 said.
Directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Boney Kapoor, the 2005 comedy blockbuster also featured Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta, Esha Deol, and Celina Jaitly in the lead roles.
‘No Entry 2’ will be lead by a fresh cast, including Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor.
Meanwhile, Diljit will be next seen in ‘Border 2’ co-starring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty.
Directed by Anurag Singh and written by Nidhi Dutta, the film is scheduled for release on January 22, 2026.
