‘No Entry 2’ has been a topic of discussion since the beginning. Initially, it was in the news due to the new actors replacing the lead actors of the first part, and now it is in the news because the actors are exiting the project. According to the latest developments, it looks like the makers will have to think about bringing in more actors as Varun Dhawan has withdrawn his name from ‘No Entry 2’.His move comes after Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh quit the film earlier this year. The two were previously scheduled to work with actor Arjun Kapoor in the sequel to the 2005 hit film.
According to a report in Mid Day, there has been a major reshuffle in the cast due to schedule conflicts. The report states that Diljit’s departure has made “things a little complicated” for the team, as the project had already seen major changes in the original cast.

The film, directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Boney Kapoor, is now looking for new actors to work with Arjun.
A source close to the project told the portal, “Now the dates for Varun’s ‘Bhediya 2’ have been finalised. We are looking at new combinations. Arjun is still all set.”
Reports suggest that Varun’s work commitments will keep him busy at least till mid-2026. That’s why the makers are now reportedly looking for two new lead actors.

Boney had earlier confirmed Diljit’s departure in an interview. In a conversation with NDTV, he said, “Yes, we parted ways in good mood as the dates did not suit our needs; hopefully we will do a Punjabi film together soon.” The Punjabi singer’s busy schedule, including his international Aura Tour, was reportedly clashing with the shooting deadlines of the film.
The producers had earlier tried to retain Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan from the first film. However, this did not happen.
As of now, Varun has not commented on the news of his departure.He was recently seen in ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ alongside Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf. He will next be seen in ‘Border 2’ and ‘Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’.
