As of October 12th, 2025, the highly anticipated sequel 'No Entry 2' has been facing a series of casting shakeups. Just last month, reports emerged that Diljit Dosanjh had exited the film due to creative differences with the makers. Now, in another major blow, Varun Dhawan has also backed out of the project.
According to the latest updates, Varun Dhawan's dates for the upcoming 'Bhediya 2' have been locked, leaving him unable to commit to 'No Entry 2' as well. The makers are now scrambling to find a new combination of lead actors to replace Dhawan and Dosanjh, who were originally set to star alongside Arjun Kapoor.
"Varun was very excited about 'No Entry 2', but things are now a bit complicated," a source close to the production revealed. "His dates for 'Bhediya 2' have been finalized, so we're figuring out the new casting combinations. Arjun Kapoor is still very much on board."
