Anees Bazmee says it’s painful to not have Salman, Anil, in No Entry sequel

'No Entry 2 is our loss'— Boney Kapoor on not retaining Salman, Anil & Fardeen

Director Anees Bazmee is known for his cult comedies like ‘Welcome’ and ‘No Entry’. The director’s last project was ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ which also did well at the box office. Just as the film-maker has begun work on the sequel to ‘No Entry’ which is titled ‘No Entry Mein Entry’, this one does not have the cast of the first part. Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan and Fardeen Khan starred in ‘No Entry’ but the sequel stars Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh. Though, after the whole ‘Sardaar ji 3’ controversy, the presence of Diljit is still ambiguous. In a recent interview, Anees spoke about this sequel and admitted that it’s painful for him to not have Salman, Anil and the original cast. He said during a chat with Screen, “I keep thinking how I can make No Entry without Anil Kapoor or Salman Khan. In fact, I also wanted Fardeen Khan. I’d called him up too. He asked me to give him three to four months and then sent me a picture of his physique. I was quite impressed. But when a film happens, it comes with its own kundali. No matter how much you plan, destiny plays a huge role. The pain of not having Anil, Salman, Fardeen, Lara and everyone in the sequel will remain. But the circumstances are such that whatever the best we could do in these times, we’ve tried to do that.” When asked about the expectations from the film and if the sequel will be better, he said, “I often laugh or cry while writing a film. When I was writing No Entry, if anyone entered my room, they’d think I’ve gone mad because I was laughing uncontrollably while staring at a paper. I laughed even more while writing No Entry Mein Entry. Naturally, in the last 20 years, my thinking has also evolved and matured. I’ve started understanding relationships even more since it’s been a lot of years since my marriage too. So, I hope I make a bigger, better, and more enjoyable film than part 1.” According to a report by Peeping Moon, Tamannaah Bhatia has been roped in as the female lead in the film.
