After it was revealed that actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh would be part of the No Entry sequel, fans were thrilled to see him step into the world of comedy. However, there were later reports suggesting that the actor had exited the film due to creative issues. Boney Kapoor clarified at the time that it was merely a scheduling conflict. Now, Diljit appears to have subtly shut down the rumours about his exit from the film.
Diljit Dosnajh with Anees Bazmee and Boney Kapoor
On Wednesday, Diljit took to Instagram and shared a video in which he was seen having a lively conversation and sharing a hearty laugh with No Entry 2 director Anees Bazmee. The actor was heard saying, "Bazmee saab story suna rahe hai... mere favourite director hai... idhar Boney Kapoor ji kehte hai ishq di gali vich no entry" (Bazmee saab is narrating a story… he's my favourite director… and here Boney Kapoor says ‘Ishq Di Gali Vich No Entry’). With this light-hearted comment, Diljit seemed to put to rest the speculation surrounding his departure from the film.
In May, Filmfare reported that Diljit had decided to quit No Entry 2. A source told the publication, “Diljit was very excited to collaborate with Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor. But over the last few weeks, he couldn't align with the film’s creative ideas. That's why he decided to leave the project due to creative differences.” However, Boney Kapoor refuted these claims, telling Hindustan Times, “Yes, there are date issues, but certainly no creative differences. That is absolutely false. We are trying our best to work the dates out.” Anees Bazmee also expressed hope that they would manage to resolve the scheduling concerns.
