Diljit Dosanjh's exit from No Entry 2 CONFIRMED, Anees Bazmee reveals shocking details
No Entry was a film that left us in tears because of the hysterical laughter that came with it. So, when the makers confirmed No Entry 2, fans were super thrilled for it. What led to the excitement to reach a notch higher was the reports of the casting. It was said that Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh will headline the film. But all hearts were shattered after reports of Chamkila's star exit made rounds. Now, director Anees Bazmee has spilt some beans about his meeting with the singer-turned-actor.
Talking to News 18, Anees Bazmee confirmed Diljit Dosanjh 's exit from No Entry 2. He also confessed to not being upset with him walking out. The Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and 3 directors further added that this is not the first time that he has worked with an actor who wasn't the initial choice of the film. But the fact that the film is getting made is giving him pure joy.
Anees exclaimed that he works with a lot of earnestness and leaves the rest to God. On having had to work sometimes with his second and third choices, the director stated, 'Once these films got released, audiences felt that those actors fit the characters perfectly and nobody else could've pulled off those parts the way they did.'
Bazmee recalls his meeting with Diljit Dosanjh for the film, and it's proof that both of them really wanted it to work out. The director, revealing about his second meeting with the Punjabi singer, which lasted 10 seconds, said that Dosanjh expressed his concerns over date issues.
'We were discussing his dates because there was a bit of back and forth. He told me that he's trying to work out his dates. Boney ji was also there,' told Anees Bazmee. He also seemed unaffected by every development of the film becoming big news. He exclaimed that whatever has to happen will happen, and that will be good.
But has Diljit stepping out of the film soured his equation with Anees? Well, nothing of this sort seems to have happened with Bazmee, who still holds him in high regard and considers him a very honest and talented actor.
Talking about their first meeting, Anees revealed that they just sat down for 20 minutes, and the singer did not even listen to the full script. He understood the story and instantly agreed to do the film.
Now all eyes are on Anees as fans are eagerly waiting to hear an official announcement of the casting and who will replace Dosanjh.

SSMB29: Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli to kick off new schedule on June 9 in Hyderabad
SSMB29, starring Mahesh Babu in the lead role, has been making the headlines since its inception. With the schedule of the movie already completed, the next shooting will begin on June 9, 2025, in Hyderabad. As per sources, the much-awaited film will continue its shoot from this week. However, the cast of actors who are going to be part of the schedule is unclear. Talking about SSMB29, the movie hit the headlines after Bollywood actor Nana Patekar declined to feature in the globe-trotting adventure. According to News18, the actor was invited to play the role of Mahesh's father in the film, with SS Rajamouli travelling to Pune himself to narrate the script to the veteran actor. However, the Housefull 5 actor denied being part of the colossal venture as the role did not entice him enough. As per the report, a source said, 'The filmmaker had traveled from Hyderabad to Patekar's farmhouse in Pune to narrate the script. The duo had an interesting exchange of ideas, but then Patekar said - This isn't something he wants to do.' The actor was offered a whopping remuneration of Rs 20 crore, but he still decided to decline the offer. SSMB29 is said to be a globe-trotting jungle adventure film starring superstar Mahesh Babu in the lead role. Touted to be made on a massive scale, the project also has Priyanka Chopra Jonas as the co-lead. Apart from them, Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran would also be part of the venture, playing a key role alongside the Khaleja actor. Earlier, Pinkvilla had exclusively reported that the film would be a single release, as opposed to the initial idea of a two-part cinematic venture. While the complete cast is yet to be unveiled, the film is expected to continue its shoot from 2026 and make a grand release in 2027. Coming to Mahesh Babu 's work front, the actor was last seen in the lead role in the 2024 movie Guntur Kaaram, directed by Trivikram. The action drama had actors like Sreeleela, Ramya Krishnan, Prakash Raj, Jayaram, Meenakshi Chaudhary, and more as pivotal characters.

Aakash Nagi on joining Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan: The biggest challenge was playing a bilingual character
Aakash Nagi and (right) as Jaal in Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan Aakash Nagi is excited to be part of Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, which also marks his debut in the historical genre. He plays the role of Jaal, an Afghani character who infiltrates the Rajput camp in Ajmer under the orders of Ghiyassudin. Speaking about his role, Aakash shares, 'For me, the most challenging aspect was that my character is bilingual — he speaks both Afghani and Marwari/Rajasthani. Another major challenge was performing action scenes while constantly wearing heavy costumes and accessories. However, my theatre experience helped me a lot in managing these demands.' One of the intriguing aspects of playing Jaal is the character's use of disguises. He explains, 'Jaal takes on various disguises — as a trader, a soldier, a dancer, and many more — to accomplish his mission and assassinate as many Rajput kings as possible, including Someshwar and Prithviraj.' Working on the show also gave Aakash the opportunity to collaborate with veteran actor Ronit Bose Roy, who portrays King Someshwar. Aakash says, 'It was a dream come true to work with Ronit Roy sir. We've shot some scenes together, and he's extremely accommodating on set. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 새로 나온 '실비보험' 최적가 가입추천!

I haven't had the chance to shoot with Padmini ma'am yet, but I did get to interact with her. She is truly a gem of a person.' Aakash's journey into acting is a unique one. Originally a mechanical engineer, he completed his engineering degree in 2018 and began working in the field. However, his passion for cinema eventually led him to pursue acting full-time. 'I was always drawn to cinema. During my engineering days, I used to watch up to three movies a day,' he recalls, adding, 'I started doing theatre in college, and it laid the foundation for my acting career. Initially, I did unpaid roles while working my day job. I landed my first paid acting role in 2020 with the Punjabi show Kamli Ishq Di, which was shot in Chandigarh.' Following that breakthrough, he made the decision to move to Mumbai and try his luck in the mainstream entertainment industry. 'Moving to Mumbai was a difficult decision and surviving there was a struggle at first. But once I started getting commercial work, it became a bit easier to sustain myself. I eventually landed my first lead role in the Hindi television serial Mere Desh Ki Dharti, and things started to fall into place after that,' he concludes.
