Overview
- Multiple outlets on Wednesday reported that Varun Dhawan is no longer attached to No Entry 2, with insiders saying the film has been put on hold.
- Bollywood Hungama said Shahid Kapoor was in talks, though Filmfare later reported he is not part of the film, leaving his status unconfirmed.
- Diljit Dosanjh exited last year, and producer Boney Kapoor said the issue was clashing dates rather than creative differences.
- Arjun Kapoor continues to be referenced as attached to the project, yet the producers have not announced a final cast.
- Boney Kapoor had earlier said Varun and Arjun were set and that filming would start in June 2025, a plan that slipped as the sequel to the 2005 hit sought a younger ensemble and ran into scheduling hurdles.
