mid-day had reported that Boney Kapoor is producing a No Entry sequel with Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh playing double roles (Single ticket, double entry; March 29). To be helmed by Anees Bazmee, No Entry Mein Entry is slated to go on floors this December. Now, rumours are rife that Shraddha Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Manushi Chhillar will be three of the 10 heroines in the laugh riot. Interestingly, the sequel has been a pet project for the makers and the actors of the 2005 original—Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan—for several years. Not many know that Bazmee’s 2011 film, Thank You, was initially planned as a follow-up to No Entry. But apparently, things didn’t pan out as expected and the writer-director went ahead to make it with Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol and Suniel Shetty. A few years ago, Salman was keen on producing the sequel, with Anil, Fardeen and himself playing dual roles—of fathers and sons. He reportedly lost interest due to long-drawn legalities and opted out. While some claim that Boney and Anees are making a film on the same subject, it remains to be seen if the double roles that Varun, Arjun and Diljit will play in No Entry 2 will be fathers and sons, or in the same age bracket.
