Anees Bazmee On Diljit Dosanjh's No Entry 2 Rumoured Exit : 'I Never Give Clarification'
Anees Bazmee reveals Diljit Dosanjh had agreed to do No Entry 2 even before he could finish narrating the script to him and that he still holds him in high regard.
A while back, reports started doing the rounds that Diljit Dosanjh has made an exit from No Entry 2 co-starring Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor due to creative differences with the makers. But producer Boney Kapoor slammed these speculations and clarified, 'Yes, there are date issues, but certainly no creative differences. That is absolutely false. We are trying our best to work the dates out." But seems like Diljit couldn't clear his choc-o-bloc schedule and now the makers may finally be moving on to their next choice.
Now, speaking exclusively to News18 Showsha, director Anees Bazmee says that he isn't 'upset' with Diljit's exit. In fact, this isn't the first time that he's having to work with an actor who wasn't part of the original casting decision. 'I'm just happy that the film is getting made. There's no bigger joy than that. At this point, woh hi ho raha hai jo upar waala chahta hai. I work with a lot of earnestness and I leave the rest to god. It's not like the films that I've only worked with actors who've been my first choices on the films I've done so far," he tells us.
Without worrying too much about it, Anees is choosing to look at the silver lining and is waiting to take No Entry 2 on floors 'very soon'. 'I've had to work with actors who were my second and even third choices. But 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," adds the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Welcome maker.
Recalling his meeting with Diljit where the Amar Singh Chamkila actor expressed his concern over date issues, Anees shares, 'Our last meeting, which was the second time that we met, lasted for 10 minutes. 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. Since it's a big film, everything that happens makes news. I'm used to do these things and I don't let such things bother me. Main kabhi safaiyaan nahi deta. Jo hona hai, woh hi hoga aur jo hoga, achcha hi hoga. (I never give clarifications. Whatever is meant to happen, will happen and whatever happens, will be for the best)"
And this episode hasn't soured Anees' equation with Diljit, who still holds him in high regard. 'Diljit is a very honest human being and he's a very talented actor. In all my life, I've met him for just 20 minutes. The first time I met him was when I went to narrate the script to him. He didn't even listen to the full script. He told me, 'Kahaani samajh aa gayi hai. Aap picture bana rahe hai. Teen heroes hai. Comedy hai. No Entry dekh ke hum kitne hasse hai.' And he instantly agreed to do the film. He's such a simple guy," Anees remarks.

Last Updated: Rupali Ganguly's love for dogs is not a secret. The actress looks after over 15 dogs even on the sets of her show, Anupamaa, in Mumbai's Film City. The Supreme Court's decision to remove all community dogs from Delhi-NCR and keep them in shelter homes has sparked a massive debate on social media. While several celebrities have come out condemning the apex court's decision, Rupali Ganguly took to her Instagram handle on Tuesday evening and dropped a video in which she was seen spending time with her pet dogs on the sets of Anupama. 'Ye Desh inka bhi hai. Ye dharti inki bhi hai. Sab log saath mein ek saath rehte hai na. Be kind," she said in the video. Rupali also added the same words in the caption of her video and added, 'Compassion and Kindness over hatred and cruelty 🙏🏻." Check it out here: Rupali Ganguly's love for dogs is not a secret. The actress looks after over 15 dogs even on the sets of her show, Anupamaa, in Mumbai's Film City and often shares photos and videos with them on social media. Previously, in an interview with News18 Showsha, Rupali talked about how important it is to feed stray dogs. Watch the conversation here: Rupali Ganguly Criticises Supreme Court's Decision Earlier today, the Anupamaa star took to her X handle and penned down a long note, criticising SC's decision. She mentioned that by shifting dogs to shelter homes, we aren't showing any kindness but are only putting them in exile. 'In our traditions, dogs guard Bhairav Baba's temple and are fed on Amavasya for blessings. They've grown up on our streets, guarding shops, waiting outside our doors, barking away thieves," Rupali wrote. 'If we remove them now, we risk losing our protectors before the real dangers arrive, like silencing an alarm before a fire. Sending them to far-off shelters isn't kindness, it's exile. Stray dogs aren't outsiders; they're part of our faith, our culture, our safety. Care for them, vaccinate them, feed them and let them live where they belong. #straydogs," the actress added. What Is The Supreme Court Order About Stray Dogs In Delhi? The Supreme Court on Monday ordered that all stray dogs in Delhi and the NCR must be caught within eight weeks and kept in special shelters that civic authorities will set up. The court made it clear that once a dog is caught, it will not be released back onto the streets. A bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan gave these directions while hearing a case taken up on its own about the rising number of stray dog attacks. The judges also said that anyone who tries to stop the authorities from carrying out the capture will face contempt of court action. The court further ordered that a helpline must be started in Delhi-NCR to report dog bite cases. If a complaint is made, the dog involved must be caught within four hours.
