Refuting rumours of his ouster, sources say Diljit Dosanjh to begin shooting for the ensemble comedy post October
Diljit Dosanjh
Rumour mills were abuzz with stories of Diljit Dosanjh’s ouster — first from Nidhi Dutta’s Border 2, and then from Boney Kapoor’s No Entry 2. However, the actor has already wrapped up the war drama, and sources now confirm that he will soon begin shooting for the sequel of the 2005 film, titled No Entry Mein Entry.
Initially, it was alleged that he walked out of the sequel due to creative differences, then due to date issues, and finally, it was said that working with Pakistani actor Hania Amir in Sardaar Ji 3 compelled producer Boney Kapoor and director Anees Bazmee to reconsider Dosanjh.

Refuting the rumours, a source from the creative team confirms that Dosanjh is definitely on board and will, in fact, begin shooting with co-stars Arjun Kapoor and Varun Dhawan post October this year. “As of now, the film is on track. The unit will begin with a month-long schedule after October. It will be shot across Greece, Italy, and India. While the story is different from the first one, it will [still] revolve around three men, their marriages, and extra-marital affairs. It is a spiritual sequel to [the first] No Entry. While Boney has been busy sorting out the dates of his male and female leads, Anees has completed the script. An announcement will be made shortly,” informs the source.
The date issue with Dosanjh was finally resolved in July when Boney and Bazmee met the actor on the set of Border 2 for the final narration. The insider adds, “They met Diljit at National Defence Academy, Pune in the first week of July when he was shooting for Border 2 with Ahan [Shetty], Varun, and Sunny [Deol]. There was talk about some creative differences, but that is not true. Diljit is very excited to collaborate with the team, especially with Anees. [In fact], Boney and Anees are committed to having him on board and only he can play this character.” The producer has also locked Tamannaah Bhatia for the ensemble comedy.
