Overview
- On Monday, June 8, 2026, director Anees Bazmee told Hindustan Times that No Entry 2 is “100 percent” happening and that the project is still on track.
- Bazmee said production has been held up by timing and cast availability, using the Hindi term “kundli” to explain that scheduling — not cancellation — is the main issue.
- Producer Boney Kapoor previously announced a new male ensemble led by Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor, and has confirmed that the original leads will not return.
- Diljit Dosanjh has officially left the project because of date conflicts, Varun Dhawan’s involvement has been reported but not confirmed by the makers, and the team is actively recasting roles.
- Kapoor has said the makers plan to cast multiple female actors for the sequel, and the next milestones to watch are a formal cast announcement and firm shooting dates.
