Talks and buzz about the movie 'No Entry 2' has been doing the rounds for quite some time. According to the latest reports, the makers have finalised the lead cast of the film. The first part titled 'No Entry' was released in 2005. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the film starred Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan. It was the highest-grossing film of the year and earned a spot in the cult comedy space in Bollywood.
According to a report in Pinkvilla, Boney Kapoor and Zee Studios are partnering for the much-in-demand sequel 'No Entry 2'. According to the report, actors Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh have been roped in for the sequel. Anees Bazmee will be returning to the film as director and writer. The trio is supremely excited about the script and have given their nod to the story," the report quoted a source close to the development.
The report further states that the makers have met Varun, Arjun and Diljit multiple times to discuss the film and the trio think that the sequel will trump the prequel in terms of comic quotient. While Varun and Arjun share a great camaraderie in real life, it is to be seen how it translates on screen. Diljit Dosanjh, on the other hand, has proved his effortless comic timing through films and his vlogs.
"'No Entry 2' is a hilarious script that has got every single person excited. The 'No Entry' sequel will go on floors in December 2024 and be a big theatrical release in 2025, marking 20 years of the first part," the source told the portal.
