Synopsis
Diljit Dosanjh put an end to rumours about his exit from No Entry 2 by sharing a humorous Instagram vlog with Anees Bazmee and Boney Kapoor. The actor playfully affirmed his involvement in the comedy sequel, just days after silencing similar speculation around Border 2, proving he's very much part of both high-profile films.
Facing controversy over his collaboration in Sardaar Ji 3, Diljit Dosanjh addressed exit rumours from No Entry 2 with humour. A light-hearted vlog with Anees Bazmee and Boney Kapoor reaffirmed his role, just like his earlier BTS post from Border 2, (Screenshots: Instagram/ Diljit Dosanjh) By turning rumours into a punchline, Diljit Dosanjh just reminded everyone why he remains one of the most loved artists in the industry today. As speculation swirled around his supposed exit from Anees Bazmee's upcoming comedy sequel No Entry 2 , the actor-singer took to Instagram and flipped the narrative in his signature style—via a humorous, heartwarming vlog.
Amidst laughter, legends, and lassi breaks, Diljit shared a behind-the-scenes video where he's seen sitting with director Anees Bazmee and producer Boney Kapoor. With his usual tongue-in-cheek flair, he declared, 'Bazmee saab story suna rahe hai... mere favourite director hai... idhar Boney Kapoor ji kehte hai ishq di gali vich no entry.' Just like that, rumours about his exit dissolved into thin air—replaced instead with giggles and camaraderie.
Reports had earlier claimed that Diljit walked out of No Entry 2 due to creative differences, but this reel, full of casual banter, put all doubts to rest. The sequel to the 2005 blockbuster will also star Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor, promising another round of madcap comedy, confusion, and chaos. With Bazmee at the helm and Boney Kapoor backing the madness, fans now know for sure—Diljit's still on board.
This clarification comes right after Diljit also shut down exit rumours from Border 2 , another high-profile project he's part of. Just last week, he posted a dramatic behind-the-scenes clip from the Pune sets, wearing a soldier's uniform with the iconic anthem 'Sandese Aate Hai' playing in the background. Amid speculations that he had been dropped due to backlash over his collaboration with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3 , the video was a clear statement—he's not going anywhere.
Despite Sardaar Ji 3 being denied a theatrical release in India due to rising tensions and a boycott call by FWICE, Diljit handled the situation with calm. In a BBC Asian Network interview, he explained, 'When the film was made, everything was fine… what happened after was beyond our control.' He added that the producers chose to release the film overseas.
The backlash from Sardaar Ji 3 had cast a shadow over his other projects, with some even urging Sunny Deol to distance himself from Diljit in Border 2 . But according to a reports the production team confirmed Diljit was always part of the film and that half the shoot had already been completed months ago. With No Entry 2 and Border 2 both in the pipeline, Diljit is balancing satire and sacrifice—two ends of the cinematic spectrum. In both cases, he let his work and wit respond to the noise, proving once again that silence isn't the only dignified response—sometimes, a good laugh speaks louder.
