Boney Kapoor recently confirmed Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Arjun Kapoor for the sequel to No Entry. He also praised Diljit, recalling a past film project with him and Priyanka Chopra that got shelved due to Priyanka’s focus on Hollywood.
In a chat with Connect FM Canada, Boney mentioned that Diljit has always been a great actor and he was once supposed to do a film with him. “He (Diljit) was always a good actor. In fact, long time back I had planned a film with him and Priyanka Chopra. It was to be called ‘Sardarni.’ That’s the time Priyanka got this offer of going to Hollywood to shoot for Quantico. So, she asked us to wait for some time,” he said.
After deciding to wait, Priyanka signed on for the second season of Quantico. The producer said, “She was offered the second season, so finally we had to give up because she got stuck there, and the kind of appreciation she got, she got certain other offers there. She preferred to make a career there, and we had to drop that picture.”
Boney mentioned that when he talked to Diljit about the film with Priyanka, the singer nearly accepted the offer. He praised Diljit’s acting skills, saying “I’ve seen his Punjabi films and even the Hindi films that he has done. He is a remarkable actor, he has a fantastic sense of comedy, his sense of timing is fantastic, a good singer, and a talented guy. So, it’s always good to have a fresh mix of actors in a film to get freshness.”
No Entry 2 will start filming in December. Boney’s recent movie, Maidaan, starring Ajay Devgn, hit theaters on April 10. Diljit’s next film is Amar Singh Chamkila, directed by Imtiaz Ali. Meanwhile, Boney Kapoor production, Maidaan, has hit the theatres.
