Diljit Dosanjh QUITS No Entry Sequel With Varun Dhawan & Arjun Kapoor Due To Creative Differences, Netizens Say 'Good Decision'

Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has reportedly decided to quit No Entry sequel due to creative differences with the makers. In March 2024, it was announced that Diljit will play one of the leads along with Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor.

Now, according to Filmfare, the makers are planning to rope in another actor in Diljit's place.

A source informed the news portal, "Diljit was very excited to collaborate with Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor. But over the last few weeks, he couldn't align with the film's creative ideas. That's why he decided to leave the project because of creative differences."

The Chamkila actor has not reacted to the update yet. The makers have also remained tight-lipped.

Soon after the news surfaced, fans said he took the best decision of not being a part of the film.

"He shouldn’t have taken up the project in the first place," a user wrote on Reddit. Another commented, "Good that he left he doesn't suit in these films."

"If thats the case the script maybe could had been a stereotypical 'punjabi sardar' guy (sic)," read another comment.

Last year, it was reported that Anees Bazmee, who helmed the 2005 film, featuring Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan, will return to direct the sequel.

The original stars won't feature in the new movie, producer Boney Kapoor had reportedly said, adding that the team is now in the process of casting 10 female actors for the project.

"That chapter is over (of the old star cast). Now, we have Diljit, Varun and Arjun in the film. Varun and Arjun are best of friends, and Diljit is fantastic at comedy. So, I think this makes for a good and interesting combination," the producer had informed PTI.

No Entry revolved around two married men (Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan), who find themselves in trouble because of their friend, Prem (Salman), after he sets them up with a hooker, leading to lies and confusions. Actors Lara Dutta, Esha Deol and Celina Jaitly played the female leads in the first part with Bipasha Basu in an extended cameo appearance.
