Anees Bazmee on Diljit Dosanjh's exit from ‘No Entry 2': 'Main kabhi safaiyaan nahi deta'
Director
Anees Bazmee
has broken his silence on reports suggesting that
Diljit Dosanjh
has exited 'No Entry 2' due to creative differences. While producer
Boney Kapoor
has already dismissed the rumours, clarifying that the issue was solely scheduling conflicts—Bazmee, in a recent interview, chose to take the development in stride, without any hard feelings.
'I'm Not Upset, Just Happy the Film Is Happening'
Reacting to the speculation, Bazmee, in his interaction with News18, said he isn't upset about Diljit's departure. For him, the bigger joy is that the much-anticipated comedy is finally moving forward. 'I'm just happy that the film is getting made. There's no bigger joy than that,' he said, emphasizing that casting changes are not new in his career. 'It's not like I've always worked with my first choices.
I've had to work with my second and even third choices.
But the audience always ended up loving them.'
'Main Kabhi Safaiyaan Nahi Deta'
Bazmee firmly dismissed the need to issue clarifications. 'Since it's a big film, everything that happens makes news. I'm used to these things and I don't let them bother me. Main kabhi safaiyaan nahi deta. Jo hona hai, woh hi hoga aur jo hoga, achcha hi hoga,' he said.
He also recalled his brief interactions with Diljit.

'Our last meeting lasted just 10 minutes. He was trying to sort out his dates. Boney ji was there too. But I understood his situation,' the director said, adding that there was mutual respect despite the scheduling conflicts.
'Diljit is Honest and Talented'
Despite the exit, Bazmee praised Diljit's integrity and simplicity. 'He's a very honest human being and a very talented actor,' he said, recounting their first meeting during the script narration. 'He didn't even need to hear the full story. He just said, 'Comedy hai, teen heroes hai, No Entry dekh ke hum kitne hasse hai,' and agreed immediately.'
With the casting shake-up likely settled, Bazmee is now focused on taking 'No Entry 2' on floors soon.

Kamal Haasan thanks TN for supporting him on language row
Chennai: Actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam president Kamal Haasan who stood his ground refusing to apologise for his 'Kannada was born from Tamil' remark, thanked Tamil Nadu for firmly backing him during the controversy. "I thank Tamil Nadu for standing with me," Kamal said in his first public appearance since the controversy broke out. I now feel the true meaning of the words Uyire (my life), Urave (my kin), Tamizhe, which I say often" Kamal said at an event organised here on Wednesday to promote his movie 'Thug Life. ' Though he did not delve further into the controversy, Kamal expressed gratitude for the support from several politicians, film personalities, activists and authors for his remarks on Kannada. Municipal administration minister K N Nehru too extended support to Kamal saying that south Indian languages originated from Tamil. Even after the Karnataka high court rapped Kamal, the actor remained defiant and refused to apologise stating that 'love does not apologise.' Though the movie is releasing worldwide on June 5, Kamal has chosen not to release it in Karnataka where political outfits as well as the film industry demanded an apology from him for the remark. Film industry insiders say that the film could have done a business of upto 35 crore in Karnataka given the fact that his earlier hit Vikram's box office collection in Karnataka was around 22 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo However, the 35 crore estimate would be the total collection out of which the producer's share would be around 10 to 12 crores. Tamil film producers say that Bengaluru is the only big market for Tamil films in Karnataka and there was a likelihood of Kamal fans driving down to Hosur which is 40 kms to watch Thug Life. In any case, there is also the possibility for a settlement with Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce enabling the film's release in Karnataka.

Thaman S's background score heightens the drama effectively, and the cinematography offers a gritty, lived-in aesthetic. Action sequences, while often overindulgent, are slick and impactful. The dialogues, penned by Saurabh Gupta and Sai Madhav Burra, are over-the-top and theatrical—often more memorable than the scenes themselves.'However, the same review pointed out that the narrative pacing became a concern after the interval. 'The second half drags, and the film's 153-minute runtime begins to weigh heavily. A forced item number featuring Urvashi Rautela feels unnecessary and only adds to the film's bloated feel.'On the professional front, Sunny Deol is not slowing down. After Jaat, he is preparing for the release of Border 2, the much-awaited sequel to the 1997 war you missed it in theatres, Jaat is now streaming on Netflix from June 5, 2025.
