Since its announcement three months ago, Son of Sardaar 2 has faced a whirlwind of changes. This highly anticipated action-comedy drama, the sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar, has encountered casting turmoil, pending decisions, and significant alterations. Despite these challenges, the film is finally gaining traction, with exciting updates about the cast and production.
Casting Shake-Up: Sanjay Dutt Out, Ravi Kishan In
One of the most notable changes involves the replacement of Sanjay Dutt, the main antagonist from the original film. Due to visa issues stemming from his criminal history, Dutt has been excluded from the sequel. Convicted under the Army Act in 1993 for possessing illegal weapons linked to the Mumbai bombing, Dutt has served a five-year prison sentence, which has affected his ability to travel to the UK. Consequently, the film’s shooting in Scotland proceeded without him.
In a surprising twist, the filmmakers have cast Ravi Kishan as the new antagonist. Fresh off his critically acclaimed role as police officer Shyam Manohar in Laapataa Ladies, Kishan joined the Son of Sardaar 2 crew on July 25 in Scotland, ready to bring a fresh dynamic to the film.
Star-Studded Cast and New Additions
The sequel boasts an extensive cast, featuring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur in lead roles. Thakur replaces Sonakshi Sinha, who starred in the first installment. The lineup also includes Deepak Dobriyal, Neeru Bajwa, and Kubbra Sait, adding to the film’s star power.
Production and Plot Details
The shooting for Son of Sardaar 2 began on July 24 in Scotland. While the filmmakers have kept specific plot details under wraps, insiders hint at a hilarious buddy-cop dynamic that promises to deliver a double dose of action and comedy. The chemistry between Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, and Ravi Kishan is expected to be a highlight, offering a blend of breathtaking comedy and electrifying action.
Release Date
Fans can look forward to the potential release of Son of Sardaar 2 in 2025, with the second half of the shooting scheduled to commence at the end of 2024. As the film progresses, more details are anticipated to be revealed, keeping audiences eagerly awaiting this much-anticipated sequel.
