They should know who they want to work with, what roles suit them and can make those decisions swiftly. He did want to do the film, but when I met him recently, we realised there was an issue with the dates. No Entry 2 is going to be a very big film with a huge cast and crew. There are so many actors, and it's important for us that everyone can come together. I think they are figuring out the dates, and I am hopeful it will work out. But whatever happens, it will be for the good. I have that faith for sure."When asked about when he plans to get the film on the floors, Anees Bazmee said, "Bohot jald (Very soon). As soon as we get clearance from everyone, we will start. I have been with Boney ji (producer Boney Kapoor) for 7-8 years now, working on this film. We have seen many ups and downs, but we are on it. I am the kind of person who sticks to his commitment. And when there's love, you don't think of loss and profit. You just want to be together and make a food film. And trust me, it is going to be a beautiful film and a lot of fun. It's still on paper, so many will not know, but I can assure you it's an amazing story." You May Also Like
